135 Silvers, Over 500 Wheats From The Same Park This Year So Far!!

Captn SE · Oct 4, 2008

Hello Everyone,

Instead of posting the 3 silver dimes I found yesterday from the "silver park", which marked my 29th consecutive hunt that I've found silver in the turf with the SE Pro coil, I decided to post all the silver coins I have found at this park so far this year.

This park has far exceeded my expectations, which has produced slightly over 50% of my total silver coin finds this year. Most of the old coins were between 6-10", in very trashy ground (years of pull-tabs, screw-caps, shredded aluminum, nails/iron, and clad). A few of my hunting buddies will definitely attest to this.

I will still continue to press my luck there until I get skunked. If I could give you one bit of advice about turf hunting in parks, it would be to have maximum patience and persistence to be successful. Oh yeah, a top detector with great target separation and extreme depth capabilities is a must for continued success. :thumbsup:

Not shown are over 500 wheatbacks, 15 Indian head pennies, a couple V's/buffalos, over 20 pieces of silver jewelry, and over $200 in clad from this amazing park.

Thanks for looking!!
Keep The Passion High!!

That's a bucket load of shiny stuff my friend :thumbsup:

What an awesome year you've had so far from that "beat up" park. They're the best kind aren't they :wink:

Keep the silver coming Dan. Them' parks ain't hunted out until you say they are.

...and then you'll go back again and pluck a few more out. :thumbsup:

What a fabulous place that's been for you! It's even better than my silver farm from last year, and it's still producing!

That pile of loot reminds me of the finds back in the 60's. But then it was mostly Washington's and Rosies--almost never a Barber or older.

We're finding much older stuff today.

By the way, couldn't you please hide what brand detector you're using? Some of us would like to NOT spread this around. :wink:

Thanks, Ray! It was a lot of hard work too, but it's the kind of work I don't mind doing.

Dan ...

A Stellar year & it's far from over ...

You are the SULTAN OF SILVER my friend ...

Congratulations & Continue to Persevere ...

Thanks, Nick!! As Mark Knopfler put it, I'm also a "Sultan of Swing".

ZING!!!! Wow the people of that park back in the day must have had huge holes in their pockets. Great work. Thanks for sharing

Thanks, HunterInTheSky!! A lot of people in the 40's/50's, and even earlier have been to this park.

Ummmm.... icon_scratch Ahhhhhhh..... icon_scratch Mmmmmm.... icon_scratch

Wow..... Shocked Huh

I need to find a park like that. Cool

Keep @ it and HH!! Cheesy

Thanks, MUD!! Parks like this are hard to come by, but I hope you can find one that's close.

I'm drooling all over my keyboard at all that silver,good luck on #30.

Thanks, TopPopTop!! Save some drool for my year end post!

That's a bucket load of shiny stuff my friend thumbsup

Thanks, Bryce!! No doubt in my mind if you had a park like this in your area, and hunted it as often as me, you'd do just as well!! I, like you, enjoy the challenge of finding silver in heavily hunted parks. Keep knocking them dead in your area, my friend. :thumbsup:

What a fabulous place that's been for you! It's even better than my silver farm from last year, and it's still producing!

Thanks, Henry!! Ah, the memories of the "Silver Farm"....I'd never thought I would find a park like your farm...what an experience. I'm very fortunate. :thumbsup:

That's just sick. And wrong. Sick and wrong. You are killing me. Beautiful SLQ, by the way.

Thanks, Badger!! One of my buddies on another site said the same thing as you, about the typical finds back in the 60's/70's.

I think it is too late to hide my detector. Everybody knows what I use a long time ago...

However, what's more important is, "How many golfers who own Tiger Wood's clubs play like Tiger?"

that is very awesome dude! You are going to suck all the silver out of california!

Congratulations on this years silver hunting! I wonder if you are going to run out next year and not find any silver because you have dug it all up. What will you do then? You sure do know the SE very well though!

congrats!

Evolution · Oct 4, 2008

Simply stunning Dan. If I could turf hunt like you I would never go anywhere other that my local park. It's about 200 years old. You would love it there. Keep up the silver hounding. :thumbsup:

Thanks, DF!! You're right...The silver is definitely diminishing over here. Last year, I dug 657 silvers. This year, I'll be lucky to get to 300. Each year is less and less. Maybe I'll move to a different state when I can't find anymore around me.

Simply awesome. Congrats on a great year and I hope you saved some for us!

SilverFox167 · Oct 4, 2008

Almost enough to fill a treasure chest.

You should hide it again and invite us all to a hunt.

Wow, Wow, Wow.

That is probably more than I will ever find in a lifetime.

Again you are the king of silver.

Nice job Captn SE.
