Hi all,
After the pace I had most this year, 2 weeks without any silver coming up felt like an eternity. But I got silver today and it was good. My drought was in part being gone 5 days at meetings for work and also in part due to hunting my Barber spot where the signals are few and far between, but the newest coin I've found there is an '09, so when a coin does come up, it is good. But after several hunts of skunking, and 1 hunt with an 1873 IH, and yesterday with a 1906 V and a 1880 IH, I was not ready to give up. Spent 4 hours, only got 1 target, but it was a great one. My second Seated dime for the year. I am not done with this spot yet, as I would rather have 1 Seated than probably 20 common date Mercuries.
The dime is from today 5/5/10 (my last 7 silvers found have been oldies Seated or Barbers)
This V nickel (my 8th on the year (call me the V-nickler)) and 1880 IH is from 5/4/10
This 1873 closed 3 IH was from 4/30, when I unsuccessfully was trying to get my April silver count to 20, settled for 19.
Thanks for looking and happy hunting
