First, congrats to all the great finds you guys have been making,,, Pat & Bob, you're killing it out there!!!

Got out yesterday and found some new, old dirt around town. Scored 2 more silver. Didn't clean the BBQ
until I got home and was hoping for a 1901S, but still happy with it.
Thanks John but I haven't been out much. I just got lucky and found a virgin park in the hood.

That would have been sweet to get a 1901S My 1901O that I found was the only coin I sold.

Awesome! I love barbers! They keep hiding from me though and I still have yet to my first BBD.

One no date SLQ, two mercs and two rosies in the last four days from the people under the slabs! So it's an easy 5 more.

No new silver to report, but I did get two more pieces of gold from the deep blue sea!! A nice 10k diamond wedding ring, and a 10k gold Nike pendant, which brings my gold totals to 14 pieces for the year. I'm still stuck at 158 Silver coins for the year.

Hey everybody!!! :hello: I havent been hunting much down here in TEXAS as it has been ungodly hot and the ground is like Jackson Park in August but I got out today and got my first silver for the year. I know it isnt from up there but hey, I gotta get on the list. I dont want to break the tradition. I hunted for an hour and a half and there were very few signals. Most were a coin though. I got 2 memorials, a wheatie, a dime and a 37 merc. Hope yall are getting out and I am hoping to get up there in September. TMAN...

Hi, one more 14k man's gold ring brings me to 15 pieces of gold for the year, and I got eight silver coins from the water bringing my silver coin total up to 166 for the year. Pics will follow shortly. p.s. I got another ring that I will have to test to confirm whether it is gold or not.

I was just going over my finds, and I forgot two gold rings I found on a trip two weeks ago or so. I never posted them so I'm now at 17 pieces of gold for the year.
