Today was the first day the rain has let up in a week now and it is supposed to rain the next 3-4 days so I thought if I was gonna get out for a while I better do it today and I'm glad I did. The ground was moist and some spots were very saturated. It took me a couple hours to find my first silver because the combination of the new MSC Ratphones ( I'm not used too ) and the wet ground conditions everything was sounding a bit different. Once I got the first silver and heard what it sounded like I dug the rest in about 2 more hours. I was getting some deep targets for sure with the SLQ at 11" in the hole with a huge nail thus the scratch on the face DANG!! oh well. This ties my personal best silver count for one day, I was really hoping to find number eleven but my battery on the Etrac played out and I didn't bring extras. Which was fine because my butt was kinda dragging after 4 hours of digging anyways. Hope you guys enjoy.

Nice recoveries John. That's a lot of silver at one location. Dman and I found several silver coins and pennies(some Canadian) at a 1940s era house in generally the same location in the yard and guessed they must have had a fruit or veggie stand there near the road. WTG!!!

That's a nice haul, congrats!! What kind of site are you hunting? An old park that hasn't seen a lot of detecting would be my guess.

Sorry not getting back to my post. Thanks to everyone that replied. I wish the days were still here where you could go out and dig a handful of silver everyday.

Congrats on a very nice hunt! :thumbsup: What a great ratio of silver to wheat! :D The E-Trac is a great machine, and it will really pull the oldies out of the ground!

WTG, and HH!!
