6 Silver Day!! 28 Wheats, Colorado Sales Tax Token...

[Captn SE]

Hello Everyone!!

I had a great day detecting yesterday at my new "silver" park. Well, it's not "new". It's been pounded over the years, but I'm extremely happy to pull this many oldies out of this park on Saturday. Temps are in the 80's here in S. Cal this weekend....where is our Winter?

I met three of my hunting buddies at the park yesterday. I rarely detect on the weekends, but since I didn't do much detecting during the week, I couldn't wait to get out there and swing my coil. All of the silver and wheaties came from heavily detected areas of the park. The quarter was in the same hole as a rusted beaver tail. I thought it was going to be a wheatie before I removed the aluminum. In one area(about 20'x20'), I must have dug around 15 wheaties, and two silver. I couldn't believe how this spot of the park had been past over by other md'ers before. Most of the finds were in the 6-8" range, with a few slightly deeper. Hmmmm....maybe I should detect weekends more. :bounce:

Thanks for looking!
Keep The Passion High!!

What a way to start the year off! Us Wisconsinites are in a deep frost and snow covered. Your stories and pictures keep me wondering why I live in this hell hole of a state. I know when I retire in a few years it will be where I will not need snow shoes or shovels and I will be able to detect year round. Congrats on your finds. PJ

Great finds and great post, as always!

I hope that Minelab is giving you some great freebies, because if I ever take the plunge and buy an SE its going to be because of your posts!

Gold Nuggets

Thanks, Richard! Yep, still amazed that I'm finding them in the same areas I've been hunting for the past 2 years! Just keep getting out whenever you can. The machine will reward you the more you use it.

Great finds. Congrats on the silver.

In the 80's huh? ...not here my friend
Nice finds brother. Keep 'em coming

Thanks, Bryce!! We've been getting some very unseasonably warm and dry weather here the past two weeks. I think wetter weather is coming this week. The ground conditions will improve if that happens. Take care, buddy!!

80's huh. low 40's here and for the past 30 hours or so we've had steady 30-40 mph winds. Congratulations on the silver.

Hey Lloyd. How's it going? Thanks a lot! Hope you can get out there and swing your coil soon!!

Thanks, AA !

My Gosh, Dan! You are on fire this year. It's a good thing you don't go out more often than you do - no one would believe your totals . Keep up the great work. One of these days you're going to become Admiral_SE. You're leading the whole fleet! Congratulations.

HH,

Dr. Ace

Thanks, Bruce!! I've got off to a pretty good start. I've got no goals this year. Just getting out there and having a good time at my pounded sites.

Wow great weekend hunt!
Congrats on all that silver...........

Hey by the way it is tax time, send me that tax token so I can pay my taxes!

Denver

Thanks, Denver!! The tax tokens lost their redemption value back in 1945, so it's just a collector's item now.

way to go on all of those silver and wheaties...

Thanks, Allen!!

Nice silver diggs! I like the tax token too! And a half cent? Maybe he used that as a tax token back then.

Thanks, Rob!! The lawnmower chopped coins are still popping up from time to time in the parks. I'm sure I'll be getting more of them this year.

Sounds like a great day to me! Hope you stumble on an out of the way place and hit it big! HH

Thanks, HH! I'd like to find an out of the way place to detect. It's been all pounded sites so far this year.

Sweet finds as usual Dan !! Your mountain of silver must be getting incredibly high . Keep up the good work my friend

George

Thanks, George!! It's getting high, while the silver out in the turf is declining.

Thanks, jgas!! Hey, you know I never gouge my oldies....well, that one you mentioned was a definite "lawnmower job"! I'm sending some warmer weather your way so you can get out and detect. I know it must be killing you!

Hey, Kevin!! I know you must be getting "cabin fever" too!! I saw your post in the "Minelab" section today!! Very cool!! Good luck!

What a way to start the year off! Us Wisconsinites are in a deep frost and snow covered. Your stories and pictures keep me wondering why I live in this hell hole of a state. I know when I retire in a few years it will be where I will not need snow shoes or shovels and I will be able to detect year round. Congrats on your finds. PJ

Thanks, PJ!! Wisconsin? Wow, I know you must be stymied with being able to do anything over there right now. I will send some warmer weather your way to put a halt to the arctic chill!

Great finds and great post, as always!

I hope that Minelab is giving you some great freebies, because if I ever take the plunge and buy an SE its going to be because of your posts!

MP

Thanks, MP!! I got some freebies last year from them! It's a great machine!!

Holy Cow Dan!!!! Just when I think I'm getting better at finding a few silvers, you go and show me how it's really done.

Man that is just awesome!

Jim

Thanks, Jim. I'm just trying to keep up with you!! Good luck up there!!

Nice finds Dan.
Did you shine those up a little before the photos?
They look SO bright!
Just curious.
Congrats!

Man, I'm gettin' ready to go buy a serious chissel, and one of those little mini-sledgehammers!
Talk about cabin fever!

Thanks, TBK. Yeah, I shined them a little. Didn't have to do very much to them. Just a little baking soda/water combo did the trick.
I know it must be killing you to get out there! I hope this warm weather I'm having here goes your way!!

 

[nc-joe]

It's amazing how that park just keeps producing for you! Way to go!
