Finally!!! - Virgin Ground

[tabman]

I was beginning to think that I wasn't going to be able to reach the 250 silver coin mark before the end of the year. I'm sure happy that I got 5 today so I won't have to worry about it anymore. What a relief!

I was using my F75DST with the NEL Sharpshooter search coil attached using 4H tones, 85 on the sensitivity, 0 discrimination, DE mode and 64 on the GB. All three of the silver quarters were shallow and locked on a ID of 85. The last silver dime was all over the place on the ID numbers, but stayed in the silver range. I had to stomp down the grass to get a good reading.

I did not dig a single wheat penny today, because I was 'cherry picking'.

This was my 93rd hunt for the year and my grand total for silver coins this year is 250. That's averaging a little over 2.5 silver coins per hunt.
I'll total all my gold and silver rings and other jewelry at the end of the year.

Well done tabman, now you can relax and enjoy the Christmas season. 5 silvers in one hunt is awesome.

Just think - next year you get to average 1 silver per day. Hmm...I think that's 365!

Great job reaching your goal!!

Hmmm...I found a silver dime once. I'm right on your tail! Only 149 to go and 8 days to get there!

Thanks! I'm glad I set the bar too high.

Thanks! I'm ready to take a break. We have a lot of rain coming in, so no worries for me now.

Thanks! I cherry picked my way across the finish line.

Thanks! I was starting to have my doubts.

Great job reaching your goal!!

Thanks! I'm going to worry myself with another goal. I proved that I can 'cherry pick' with best of them.

Finding one silver coin at a time adds up if you stay after it.

Yea!! Glad to see a goal crossed!

Thanks! I'm one happy camper.

Thanks! Next year? I think I'm going to go back over all those sites that I cherry picked this year and see what my Tesoro detectors can find. I won't find as many silver coins detecting behind myself, but it's fun and a challenge to go back over sites to see what I can unearth with one of my Tesoro detectors. More gold rings, relics and tokens for sure!

Unreal,,
Congrats on reaching the "250" goal.
You had an incredible year.
Are you going to set a silver coin goal for next year?

 

[ScubaDetector]

For land silvers that was a lofty goal and I am glad you succeeded. Congrats

 

[texjim]

I need to spot like that... Great job

 

[WHADIFIND]

Oh? You made it? Well I'll be hornswoggled.

Congrats.....I guess?

No I'm not! I'm not going to do that again. I could push the count higher if I wanted to. Keep in mind, I only averaged detecting 3.5 hours per hunt and averaged going detecting two times a week. 250 silver coin total was done in 93 short hunts. I'm retired, I could go twice that if I wanted to.

Thanks!

Thanks! I have detectors trained to fetch silver. I let them do all the work and I take all the credit. LOL

You're still killin the silvers! 250 for the year?! Holy cow! I may be lucky to be at 80 or so, but still pulling some old ones. I got seated for the first time ever last month...then again a week later! Can't wait to see your totals for the year!

Thanks! Taylor if you were still here and hunted as much as I do, you'd probably find more silver coins than me. I won't be doing anywhere near 250 next year. I just did it to prove that could if I wanted to.
