Hello Everyone,
I'm closing in on my 300th (yes 300th) silver coin for the year so far. Just 6 more to go
. Most of my oldie finds are from parks where I live (Southern CA.), with about 20 or so silver found up in San Francisco when I traveled there and met a bunch of md'ers who, like me, belong to the California metal detecting forum called Kinzli's. The md'ers on Kinzli are all great people, just like everyone here on TreasureNet. My posts are extensive on Kinzli's, if anyone is interested to see them, they're free for the viewing. I have met and also helped many people on TreasureNet. Terrific folks all around!!!!
Here's a list of all the parks I found silver at in the past 5 months. I really don't mind posting the names of these parks, because I've hit them all real hard, extracting as many silver/wheats as I could from them, until it really wasn't worth a trip back for me. I'm sure I left a few pieces of silver here and there; one can never completely hunt out an area.

My wheatie count is 4 times my silver count. I've found almost every year of wheat, except for an '09S, '09SVDB, '14D, and '22 plain.
The pic below is actually a pic I took when I reached #200 about a month ago. It's funny, after looking at that pic, I could almost tell you where I found each and every one of those silver. Each coin has a story to tell...... I'll post a pic of 300 when I get there, hopefully in the next week.
I would also like to add that this tremendous run of silver/oldies would not have been possible if it weren't for my amazing Explorer SE detector, and also me being off of work for the past 5 months, and being able to detect 5 days a week.
Metal detecting is by far my favorite hobby. I have met some great people, and life long hunting buddies who share in the passion of finding old coins/relics/jewerly/etc. as much as I do.
Hope this inspires everyone who has been in a rut finding oldies to just get out there and swing your coil. Best of luck to everyone.
Thanks for looking,
