7 Silver Day!! 17 Wheats ~ Chopped Sterling Ring

Captn SE · Jan 24, 2009

Hello Everyone!

I wasn't sure if I was going to detect today because of the wet weather, but one of my buddies said he wanted to hunt, so I decided to join him. It started out as a strong mist in the morning, but gradually turned into showers. The ground was not real muddy, but the wet clay was sticking to everything. During the hardest showers, I was gonna call it a day with a couple of Rosies and about 8 wheats in my pouch, but I stuck it out a little more, and I'm glad I did. The showers stopped, and the silver started popping out of the ground. I ended up digging 4 more silver coins; 4 Mercs, along with a chopped sterling ring with a red, diamond-cut stone, and 9 more wheats. I also managed a '71 Kennedy half(first half of the year), a chopped 20 Centavos at 8", and about 30 clad quarters. The silver coins ranged from 4" down to 8.5".

All in all, it was a great day for me hunting in the wet conditions. My pants, shoes, and jacket were real dirty, but now they're all cleaned, as are my silver!!

Thanks for looking!!
Keep The Passion High!! :thumbsup:

Thanks, Ron!! The parks I've been hunting have some great looking silver. I hardly have to do anything to clean them.

Thanks, DF!! You can be sure I'm going back to this park. It's hard to just leave a productive park alone.

The silvers are really sweet looking and the wheats look like ours do up here.
Too bad the silver ring was chopped, it looks like a nice one.
Keep the posts coming, like reading about and seeing your finds.
