Hello Everyone,

Over the past two days I decided to detect a couple parks that produced the 'Ol Wilver for me in the past. I was really hoping for a better silver to wheat ratio than I had on Monday (remember? 50 to 2). Yesterday, I pulled a '64 Quarter (my first '64 this year), and a '63 Rosie, along with 9 wheaties in a short 3 hr hunt. Today was even better....6 Wilvers ('54 Quarter, '50, '56(2) Rosies, '20, '27 Mercs), 1 silver ring, 6 wheaties. Two of my silver coins were stacked on top of each other (quarter/dime), which is always exciting to dig. So my 2 day ratio turned out to be much better than my average for the year: 15 wheats, 8 silver coins. ;)

........just 17 more to go for #600.

Thanks for looking,
CAPTN SE

putting silvers in an altoids tin will stop them tarnishing up so fast untill you get them into a few 2x2

Nice finds

Way to go Dan. I believe you'll hit the 600 mark without a whole lot of mystery. ::)
Sounds like we got 2 more decent days here so I may be skipping work.
Pop a few out for me buddy.
 
Nice job Captn!

Nice finds, Capt. I kept records for many years of all my finds. When I hunted alot (70s and 80s) I would average about 10,000 coins a year. The average silver percentage was 10% or a little over. I think my average is higher lately do to not digging any surface coins. Keep on diggin and no. 600 will be there.

Killer day bud as always . All that silver this year has gotta have some serious weight . I'll bet you got about 5 or 6 pounds maybe more . Dan is the SILVER King no doubt !
 
HEY CAPTN-SE, SWEET SILVER DAY........ OH BY THE WAY, THANKS SOOOO MUCH ON YOUR INPUT ON THE DD LOOP QUESTION. I LIKE WHAT YOU SAID AND IT MAKES THE MOST SENSE. I`M STICKING WITH MY DD. I WILL JUST USE MORE SESITIVITY AND BLOW THAT SIGNAL STRAIGHT DOWN FROM TIP TO TIP.
