For a short "after work" hunt Ron, you did terrific!!
those silvers look really sweet. I'm still amazed that you can
pull silver from spots that have been hunted again and again.
Wonder what we did wrong the first 3-4 times? Congrats....

Hey Richard. You guys didn't do anything wrong. Old coins are elusive, and they can be missed on any given day. It doesn't take much. There's a lot of variables(trash, swing speed/technique/machine knowledge/good ear/etc.) Even getting the coil over the right piece of ground doesn't ensure success. To prove a point....today, I detected over a small area (40'x40') that I detected heavily back in '07. I was a newbie with my SE at that time. I was sure back then that I got every old coin from this area. I couldn't have been more wrong. Today(two years later), I ended up finding 28 wheats, and 2 silver dimes from this spot. The ground conditions were identical to what they were two years ago. I just kept shaking my head. Experience/knowledge of one's machine as time goes by can really enhance your output of old coinage from previously hunted spots.

I'd say that was a very successful hunt, Ron. Finding silver always puts a smile on my face. Only problem is, I can't stop smiling.
