Drought is over. 1st silver fty

[alb1]

It's been ages since I've found anything silver. July 17 to be exact. I've found several wheaties and even a few buffalos but no "treasure". That ended today at a place that's given up several silver coins. True to form I found this very near a large pine tree, about 4-5 deep. Also found a nice 1929 penny near a 1950s military building. Hope there is more as there is plenty of room left to test.

That's a Beauty. I have had silver droughts as well just a suggestion but I made a test garden and buried some coins at different depths and one realized I was swinging too fast and missed a lot of silver cause its usually pretty deep my best silver year was last year it helped a lot. Thanks for sharing your find and hope theres many more for ya!!!! Tommy

Great save, alb...gotta love seeing shiny in the dirt. I remember when I first started detecting, I kept wire brushing my dimes and quarters to check the date for silver...only when I dug my first i realized...huh...so THAT'S what silver looks like..Congrats on #1 fty, now get back there and pound that pine tree until more pop up...Ddf

I slowed the swing down today and I believe that made a difference.
