ended up with a new best. Tom and I hunted the previous day and I remember telling him that an 11 silver day would be hard to ever beat. And the thing is, I was there only for one more coin. That was the real purpose. I personally don't care for personal bests. Days like this, I simply like to test out what can be done. How far you can go, how far you can hunt. I take just as much pride in the number of hours I was able to swing that heavy son of a gun as in what I found. On to the day.......
I left home at a quarter to six and started the day at a quarter after. It took me well over an hour to find the first day's silver off the side of a path. Mission accomplished. A short time later, I ran into two rosie's in close proximity to each other and then a barber dime about three feet away. In that same area, I also found a first (The silver nickel). Moving around a bit, I ended up with 8 coins by 9:30ish. At this point, I'm thinking I have more than enough time (And gas) to tie or break Friday's 11. I call my buddy and tell him the situation. I called him back again at 1ish with a count of 12. At this point, I took a break until 2:40pm. Lower on gas but still up for it, I started combing the same areas and managed another four. Over 11 hours later, a flat minelab battery since miday (Threw on the AA version) and on my last reserve, I headed into some wooded areas where we have always hunted and dug up one last Rosie before calling it a day. Total of 17 silver coins, and a crapload of wheats.
