My best season for silver up to this point was 150, I surpassed that today by 6 and we still have 6 to 8 weeks left (hopefully)!! The weekend started out a little slow, Jim and I headed out to a couple old parks hoping to get away from the rain here. After we arrived at the first park we had to put up with some light rain for a bit but the sky soon cleared up and the sun came out. We stayed for a good 2 or 3 hours and all I could manage were some wheats and the '92 I.H. We decided to head up to another park where we stayed till sunset. The soil here was very strange as in very noisey, I don't know if it was mineralization or what but just about every swing of the coil I got high tone beeps that would not repeat. I managed some wheats, one of which was the 1909 that looks as if it has some kind misstrike or possible die error. I did not scrape this coin, this is how it came out of the ground. The shiny cresent shaped part is actually raised not indented. Anyway I had all but given up on this park and headed to an area that I was avoiding because it looked like a newer addition. I started digging wheats then got a nice high silver quarter tone and from about 8" out came my first ever SLQ with a full date, a 1924d. We stayed a little longer and had to go as darkness was setting in.
I headed out this morning with the hopes of passing my silver record and went to a park near the one we ended our day at yesterday. My first dig was the '51 Washington and shortly after that I got the '59d Rosey. I found the Canadian dime (can't read the date) and then got the '44 Merc
(yeah another trifecta)!!! I promised the wifey that I wouldn't be out too long today so I thought I would head back and stop at the park where we ended the day yesterday. I'm glad I did, I got the '56d Rosey and the '97 Barber dime in the same area we left off at. Thanks for looking and HH
