29 Silvers In 3 Days!!!

[Captn SE]

Hello Everyone,

First I would like to thank Mike (ratman) for introducing me to a park in the Valley which has become a "silver mine" this past week for me. Mike, Curt(Bibleman), Jon(goldenapples, on Tues.), and myself have been detecting the "secret" park this week, and it really has been producing. Mike told me the park had been detected by his and his Dad's White's machines in the past, but not Explorers. This morning started out great for Curt and myself. I had just arrived at the park and saw Curt swinging his Explorer already. He walked over to me with a big smile on his face and showed me 2 Washingtons and 1 Rosie he had just dug out of one hole...Wow!!! I proceed to turn on my SE and walk a little way down from him, and the first signal I get, I dug down and pulled out 3 mercs and a wheat in one hole. Curt couldn't believe it, neither could I. We both scored multiple silver holes. I've been to this park three times this week, and scored 11 silvers on Monday, 7 on Tuesday, and 10 more today. Most of the silver coins are mercs and rosies, along with 2 Washingtons. Average depth of the coins is around 3-4". Amazingly shallow for a CA park. Even though they are shallow, you really have to cherry pick these silver amongst the tons of trash, clad, and underground electrical disturbances. My machine was hardly ever quiet throughout today's hunt. It was chirping like a bird all day long. I was hoping for a silent area of turf to keep me from going insane, but couldn't find any, so I took a few breaks to let my ears recover... :P

The second pic is interesting. I dug a wheat, and what I believe to be a crusted steel penny on top of the wheat, along with a rosie that was sitting on top of the steel penny. Also got a small sterling pin, which reads "Ladies".

Mike and Curt, it was a pleasure to hunt with you two today, as always. Love that park, Mike!!!

Thanks for looking,
CAPTN SE

odd that we have a few members using minelabs that have to keep saying and using their posts to bash whites detectors as well as all other brands...guys why not stick to the idea of these forums...being supportive of each other? After a while it does get old...and like a few others have said any detector that is decent in an experienced users hands should find the same coins right...you are finding them in the ground right?

It would sure be nice if you guys would stop saying well I found this with a minelab but this other brand would not have found it...does sound silly and immature....

But Gregg, don't you agree that also those few guys usingWhites are doing the same thing?? Not Just the Minelab people. This was a good post until both Minelab and Whites people took it over. Blame goes to both sides!

Jack to be honest....I did not realize this was an on going thing between a few members.... Maybe some of these same people should take a little credit for their finds and be giving tips or offering help to others... Instead of going back and forth...

I agree, it would be more helpful!

I'm a dedicated Whites lover, but I do agree under certain conditions different machines will out do other machines, and vice vesa when the conditions change. That's a great total you are building. Congrats on pulling out all that silver.

yeap!! i agree 100% the right tool for the job depending on circumstances

Sweeeeeet finds, that is awesome results. I don't own a minelab or a whites but I appreciate the info on your perception of how they both worked in the same conditions. Too bad so many people are offended anytime a useful comparison is made. Maybe they have their detector brand name tatooed somewhere on their body so they take it extra personally. Great job on the silver. It is amazing how fast the value adds up with these higher silver prices...Ryan

Unbelievable!... Man, you hit the jackpot with all those silvers for just three days of detecting. WTG on multiple finds in single holes. Interesting pic of the steel penny sandwiched between the wheat and rosie.

Love the silver coinage!

At some point it needs to be weighed. How many pounds?

Keep 'em commin'!


Congratulations!

Thanks, everyone!!! I wasn't trying to be biased in my post. I was only stating the facts. I think a few of you took this post way, way, way out of proportion. Trust your machine and learn it as best as you can. It will reward you no matter what brand it is!!!

Ridley, I weighed my silver coinage this year so far. It weighs 3 lbs 4 oz.

Hey Capt,In some peoples minds this post may have gone down the wrong road but as I was reading it I just took it as some friendly bantering among our fellow members.My dad uses a whites classicIII and everytime he pulls it out I have to say"You're not planning on putting that old mongrel in here with these finely tuned machines are you?"He really likes it though and he does great with it and think of the extra enjoyment we get from the ribbing back and forth.Anyway great finds and I don't believe it was your intention to put down anyones machines.Keep posting the goodies!

As you guys can see, I took off all of my "White's" information on my profile, especially the "detector used" area.

May we all get along and just love each other.

when i find my clad and whatever else I stumble across....I never make silly comments about or mention any other brands...but it seems lately a few people have been causing this back and forth nonsense intentionally...By the way two last things...I have never in any of my posts said anything about minelab detectors not being able to not find anything...also have you changed your name...let me check...still says captain se right?<Funny for you of all people to say that one...did you forget the name you were using... Captain....

Come on Gregg, I got the idea of the username from you....no seriously, the username was given to me by my fellow forumites here in CA. They thought it suited me perfectly....I agreed. Comments are not silly when what you have observed is factual, hard evidence. Even the moderators felt that quite a few reply posts were way out of line...they deleted many truly silly replies to my post. We all know your stance on DFX's....would you dare change your username if you decided to switch detectors one day?? I would if my SE becomes my second-hand detector. But for now, it's the best detector I own. My other two detectors are Whites.

Heck this conversation is quite amusing! Seriously, can you dudes believe, I am not involved? So, I will sit back with my 22-year-old thirst for some Coors and enjoy!

I have no problem with any names anyone uses..you brought that up also... My point is you and the others...really take away from the finds if you choose to continuously bring up the mine is better then yours mentality...Which is really getting old...How about stating your finds when you find them that day...and not mentioning other brands...that is what most people do....

 

[Colonial KirkPA]

One Coors down, with 11 more to go! After that, I will move onto some Miller!

Keep it up, guys!

Gregg, you didn't answer my question. Would you change your username if you found a better detector for you?? Yes, I won't mention any other brands of detectors in my posts from now on here on Tnet. Too many folks take it the wrong way. When I post here on my CA forum, no one thought my comments were silly. They just congratulated me for an amazing week of finds...funny personalities on this forum.
