Explorer II with 10x12 SEF
Got out for my first hunt of the year yesterday with Jon and broke in my Explorer II with a 5 silver day :headbang:
Started off slow while I pretty muched just watched Jon pull out Barber after Barber while I was trying to find silver with my
probe left on for a while ??? ??? ???. Took a break for 5 minutes to enjoy the sun and watch some ducks playing on the river when I decided to hit the side of hill which rewarded me with 3 Rosies and 42 Washington within 15 minutes. Needless to say I was pretty happy as I didn't score a single silver last year at all.

Ten minutes later I got a short 1 way signal that sounded sweet and out of the hole I was rewarded with my first Barber dime - 1916S.

Total for the day was 3 Rosies - 52, 60 and 63, 1916S Barber dime, 42 Washington and 5 wheaties - 36, 44, 55 and 57.

Thanks for looking!

Todd

Fantastic silver coinage. Great hunting and great location. Look forward to see what you guys get there next time.
 

Now that's the way to break that unlucky streak! And you got the gear to get more.
