Dime Quadfecta, Nickel trifecta, Indians...just a nice 10 silver day

[Scrappy]

I have not been getting out at all lately. Work, family, and the summer ending has kept me sidelined pretty much since my GW button hunts. Anyway, I went to a new permission for about 5 hours and dug about $20 in clad. The site itself has been in continuous use for 150 years so I needed to cut through the crap to get to the good stuff. Here are the results

Surprisingly there was no big silver. Overall a very productive day

Update: just counted - This puts me over 200, to 203 silver coins for the year. Lol

That's a killer hunt Steve. $20 in clad is a lot of digging, but these keepers were well worth it. Don't see a dime quadfecta often... never seen a quinfecta... and a sexfecta would be as awesome as it sounds

I've been spending too much time in the fields lately looking for Colonial stuff... have a new permission at a nice Victorian house. A few silvers and indians would be a nice change of pace.

I don't know exactly how much clad I dug really, I was being dramatic I suppose lol. I was actually hunting for colonial items here since another site of mine, across the street, had produced Spanish milled and cobs. I was secretly hoping for spill-over.

Great hunt Steve.
You need to be more great full for your finds. You know there staving kids in china

The fact is I was starving for silver. And this puts me over 200 for-the-year! Lol.

Looks to me like you broke into your local coin shop !

Nice set of silvers looks like a good haul

Lol. Our coin shop is the ground and what we find money can't buy, and has more value to us than what it's worth.

A Nice haul indeed Scrappy.
$20 In clad ? That'a a-lot of Digging , I assume you were also digging the Zincs 'Hoping they were old buttons etc,'.
A site or 2 like that & I'd be living large.

Oh yes, digging the lows too. Hoping for a GW, but the odds are against me I suppose. I dig zincoln signals since they could be IHP's or that elusive flying eagle I'm after

Shaggy, you have some of the best sites! I love that pic. I would frame it and put in my man-cave and stare at that ALLLLL Winter!
Awesome.

Those quads are very difficult to do as you know Steve. Nice job on all that silver, and on your year-to-date totals which are mind-boggling!

Thanks Bill. The funny part is I found 75% of all my silver coinage this year in pursuit of colonial goodies. It's a wonderful thing! God I love this hobby

 

[gearjammer]

Lookin good!!

 

[Bartek]

Nice digs! Sounds like you had a great workout with $20 in clad!

 

[wv hilljack]

Very nice hunt and such a great variety. Wow!

Bart, it was quite a workout. Hey, good luck tomorrow with Charlie. Save a few signals for me as I can probably get out next Sunday.

 

[Gridwalker306]

Seriously!? What a mondo pile of silver there haha! I can relate to clearing the crap to get to he goodies. I have a spot that's been used since the 1890's, and I spent a long time clearing out the junk to get the deeper signals...it's worth all the work!

Super Nice Digs Scrappy!! Awesome hunt for sure.. and
How did you VDI numbers ring up for the Indians and the silver nickle.. they still elude the CTX coil...

The Indians have rang up in a rather large range. I usually get them around 12-30/31/32/33/34 but have gotten them as low as 12-27 for the "fatties", and 12-38 for a 1900's one once. That info is based on probably a couple hundred Indians I've dug with the CTX.

The silver nickels have all rang in at 12-14/15/16.
