Best Silver Day Ever

[jrmazzeo]

Second visit to an old baseball field yielded 11 total silver coins; 2 Washingtons, 3 Rosies and 6 Mercs. One of those hunts where the silver just would not quit. Had to swing very slow so as to not miss any of them as they were all pretty deep. Field is huge so plenty of virgin ground to hit. 119 silver for the year. Not going to top last years 172 but at least making it closer than I though about a month ago as this new site has given up 18 silvers in two hunts.

Nice amount of silver. I'm sad to say I never found that much since I started in Dec-2007. Guess I just don't get out enough to the right places. Lots of the places I go have been hammered hard by other detectors, but I do good enough in the water when I can go to make up for it. Well done. I hope you break your record of 172 from last year. There are still about 47 days left in the year and this is obviously a great spot. HH.

Believe me, I have plenty of hunts with no silver. I am lucky enough to live in New England where there are lots of older parks, schools, etc. to hunt. They key, as everyone always says, is to do research and find places that are not obvious. This particular baseball and football field dates back to the late 1800s, but it is not near the town center so it doesn't appear on the maps from that time. I found it by searching "old baseball fields in new england".

I give a site about 5-10 hours of detecting, and if after that I have not found at least a few wheaties I move on. I also have to give credit to the detector, a Minelab Safari, which is great at finding deep silver.

I don't think I will break my record, as I only hunt on weekends and the season could end any day now. But I am OK with that as last year was a very special year as I was lucky enough to find 3 sites that were lightly hunted. One of the sites produced about 50 silver coins.

Best of luck to you!
