# 700 silver, lifetime.....

[basssmann]

A few hunts this week, picked up 1923 and 1945 Merc.'s, then a 1944 Rosie and 1944 Merc., and finally today 1930 Buffalo nickel, 1901 Indianhead and a 1898 Barber dime.. The Barber dime today, set a few personal goals for me..

The Barber was my 75th Barber coin Lifetime

The Barber was also my 700 th 90 % silver coin found in my Lifetime...

I have been detecting, for 28 years, but, some years, a lot more detecting than others.. As a NY country boy, we only get to detect about 8 months a year. I love the way detecting, relieves the stress of dealing with my wife's Alzheimer's. Happy Easter and Happy Hunting everyone..

detectorben, 58 more years, that wouldn't be a bad thing... lol all you have to do is have a couple good years, on a new place. One year, I dug 94 silvers and didn't really go out that much.. Good luck to you....

Congratulations on the 700 silver! So, out of those 700, do you have a single favourite silver coin?

The other day I dug my 299th silver coin since 2010. Hopefully my 300th is something nice like your Barber!

J. Cache, your on a faster pace, then mine to reach 700... great start..

As far as a favorite... I guess my 4 Barber Half dollars...

Mmm delicious Barber halves, no doubt those are at the top of your list

WOW... 700 silver coins. What an achievement. As I listen to my talk radio programs, they're trying to get suckers to buy silver .

Congratulations on #700.
That's quite an accomplishment.

Basssmann your thread just didn't hit close to home but right in my living room. Detecting has always been an
escape for me from life's pressures. But now with this debilitating decease (Alzheimer's) that has invaded my family
detecting has relieved some of the stress.
Basssmann I hope you add a lot more silver to your incredible 700 coins and next time I find a silver coin I'll be
thinking of you .
