11 Silver Today__My Best day EVER !!!!!!!!!!

Started at 9 am...........first 9-10 plugs I dug were junk/Tabs ect..............I had hunted 1 ½ hours,and only found a wheat when I decided to start a grid pattern.......
I Grid-ed about ½ hour,found 1 merc,but decided to walk about 100 ‘ away,in a hard to access spot..........Lots of standing water.........& kind of miserable hunting............
But I am sure glad I did.............I started finding wheat,Merc,wheat,rosie, SLQ........
I stopped digging the signals that pinpointed 4" or less & dug only 5"+ signals........I dug silvers and wheats from 5"-10"....................................................................................
I had my machine set HOT .....with Gain and Sens almost maxed..........................
...................................I found 10 clad Quarters,5 Clad dimes,10 mems......$3.10.........
Also found 13 wheats,a NO DATE Standing Liberty Quarter=S.L.Q.,a 1953 D Silver Washington Quarter,5 mercury dimes,and 4 rosies..........My BEST SILVER DAY EVER !!!!
So far this year I have found $27.74 in Clad & mems, 1 Indian Head cent (1902),....................ONE HUNDRED and TWELVE Wheat cents,,,,, a Barber dime,15 mercs,11 rosies,3 Silver Washington Quarters,and 2 (No Date) Standing Liberty Quarters,for a total of ..................
32 Silvers.......................29 of which were found in the last 2 weeks..................................
........Just hunting Parks.............& Getting to know my Machine......................H.H.
Here are some pics of my finds today..........they were so dark,I thought I lost a
Silver Quarter,and 2 silver dimes...........................I Cleaned most of them with Baking Soda and water.There were 4 stubborn ones I had to soak 20 seconds in e*Z*est (silver/copper soak) , then scrub with baking soda & repeat...(I would not have used e*Z*est if the Silvers were Key Dates,But I would have rubbed them with Baking Soda/Water)

Great looking finds and thats alot of silver in one day.
 

Nice Finds. Gridding a place off really helps. Geek Squad
 

Oh My God. How fabulous. I've been MDing for years and still have not found one silver coin. I guess it's location, location, location..... Enjoy your finds.
 

Great Find McEtrack (must have a little Scottish in you) Great silver :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
 

Outstanding finds - looks like you've got some great locations there - and your detector is locked and loaded.

Argentium.
 

Dave, what a day. Congrats.
 

Dave, WTG on that killer day! Drop me a PM next time you're looking for a hunting bud.
I've been itching to get back to the spot where I dug my 1st Seated...remember? Yeah,,, I think you brought me some luck on that day. :thumbsup:

Here's to many more days like this one! :occasion14:
 

man you had a alsome day on the silver. It is going to be hard to beat this day....Matt
 

Wow

W O W ........I could not beleive when I checked my email,and had 17 resonces to My post...........Thank You All.................................................
The hunt actually ended with rain and there was 3 1/2 hours of daylight left..........My hunting buddy was rooting for me to break his 13 silver finds record set last year...........If it did'nt rain..............Maybe................I could have found 3 more silvers to break his record?????
....................................It IS possible...........we have had several short 2-3 hour hunts,and have found 2-3 silvers in that time.............But it started raining good at 3:30, and I had not found a silver since about 2:00 so I kind of doubt it...........That is probably the last chance I will get to break his record............But I will try.....LOL

The Etrac is the old coin finding-est machine I have ever had my hands on. If the coins read less than 6" I don't even bother with them. Don't tell everyone how good it is though or the parks will get picked clean :D :D
