Where's the Silvers? 3 Indians, 28 Wheats, Plenty of Clad and Relics

I took Friday off to get a hunt in. The in-laws are up and we are celebrating Thanksgiving today (I was told, no hunting this weekend). :BangHead: The kids will be here soon so I thought I'd get my post up. I went to a new permission I secured last Saturday. It's on the 1874 map.

I have only hunted about 1/8th of the property in 4 hours going low and slow. The area I hunted is highlighted yellow on the pic below.

When I asked Shawn for the permission, he asked what I hoped to find. I stated that I was looking for pre 1965 silver coins, would more than likely pull an IHP and hopefully an old pocket watch. In the 1st hour of the hunt I dug up my 1st pocket watch frame, and thought to myself, I bet I'll get a harmonica reed on this property. BAM, the very next plug had (you guessed it) a harmonica reed. I pulled 3 IHPs, (1887, 94, & 98), 28 wheats (1916-58D) and an old local trade token "F.E. RICHMOND - CIGARS & POOL- WELLINGTON. There has got to be some silvers in the ground somewhere. You know the old saying "Where there's wheat there's silver", I am hoping it is true for this site. I need 3 more silvers to hit my season goal of 50.

Nice hunt. I get just as excited digging Indians as i do digging silver.
Guess that is because ive dug way more silver dimes this year than IHP's, and i love indian head pennies.
 

Great hunt! You got a nice haul of different things. Hope you find a pocket spill of silver there.
 

Hmmm...........brings a tune to mind.........One little, two little, three little Indians.......

I'd bet that there is silver in your future at that sight.
 

Yeah we have some here too Bill that don't have enough brain cells to determine for themselves where they should go...they have to read others' posts from the area and beat 'em to the spots.

Oh yeah! I can testify to that! All those superb places you have to hunt up there, Dave, I would guard them well! Especially from visiting "DIGnitaries" from south of the Mason Dixon. ;)
 

Great haul congrats! The silver is there it's just taking it's sweet time making it's appearance. If the IH can slip out of a pocket, those dimes are much smaller and easier to lose.
Our family gathering is today...which would have been my detecting day :banghead:
 

Big hunt with big rewards, Loco. I agree, you need a 5 gallon bucket for your next hunt there. Great, now I can't stop singing in my head, "Where has all the silver gone, long time passing..." Sub 8-)
 

Nice hunt LD, if there is silver on that site, you will find it. It's just teasing you. Have a nice thanksgiving with your family. HH RN
 

HEY DIGGER NICE FINDS IN PIC 3 ....
 

Congrats on the new permission, that's quite a haul for a four hour hunt. best of luck with the silver on the remainder.
 

its not all about the silver . Looks to me like you had a fantastic hunt . I also blanked on silver yesterday and dug 25 wheats cents. keep trying you'll get it.
 

Congrats on the finds, looks like your doing just fine.. :icon_thumleft: The silver is there, keep on swinging... Happy Turkey Day
