10 Silver, 34 Wheats ~ Small Gold ~ Sterling Charms ~ 43 For 43!!

[Captn SE]

Hello, my Friends!!

Yesterday, I reached a milestone of 300+ silver coin finds for '08, and was very satisfied to achieve this at the "silver park". Without the silver park this year, I don't think this accomplishment would have been possible. The park has produced 177 silver coins this year for me, and I did not get skunked for silver once at the park this year in almost 70 hunts. I decided yesterday after finding 4 silver dimes, and 8 wheats, to finally give the park a break from future hunts. I will be giving some of my other parks that produced silver for me last year a try for the remainder of the year. There will never be another park in S. CA like the "silver park".

The first pic is from the last 3-4 hunts from the "silver park". The two sterling crosses were found on the same day, within 50 ft from each other, both around 7" deep. The blue hotrod tootsie toy was also found on the same day. The piece of gold chain was an "eye" find, laying right on top of a flattened gopher mound. The marbles were found in some of the plugs I dug. Hey, you can actually see me taking a pic of my finds in the reddish colored marble....Cool!!

The second pic is a closeup of the sterling crosses and my gold chain find.
I was requested by a few of you to post some of my other non-old coin finds that I typically make while searching for the older coins. The third pic are my clad finds for about 4 hunts. I don't dig any shallow clad, except for quarter signals. The dimes/pennies posted were all 4-8" recoveries.
The last pic is my trash, per request. This is a typical amount for about 4 individual hunts in the turf. A good amount of this trash was dug up to help better identify a deeper coin signal, or it just happened to be in my plug mixed in with my coin target.

I'm very satisfied with my old coin finds this year in my local hunt sites. I really didn't think I was going to find as much as I did, considering last year's quantity of old coin finds that I made.

Thanks for looking!!
Keep The Passion High!

Rainy, cold here in the midwest but still might get out again before the blizzards come...Like you say, Keep the Passion High Buddy.... jgas

Dan,
Nice silver. Pictures are perfect. Nate and I have found some of those Catholic medals.

Looks pretty crazy on your Quarter count. That's how you can tell an area hasn't been hit that hard. I'm not sure about out there in CA but here in Ohio it takes at least 5 years to build up any kind of decent Quarter population. I love going to a new site and finding more than a half dozen Quarters in an hour.

Only 13 more to tie DiMaggio! Nothing like a silver site you know you can go to and come home with a prize! That Tootsie car must have been made like the 44 wheats: over a billion!

Hi Dan!

WOW ~ congrat's on hitting the 300 silver coin mark ~ that's AWESOME!!! That's some serious treasure!

I'm still stuck at 95 silver coins! I went detecting with Ron last weekend ~ he dug three silver dimes and I only dug a couple Indian Head cents (1902 & 1892).

Congrats on reaching the 300 silver mark Dan! you sure know how to get them deepies!!
