Today is my 20th hunt for the year and my silver coin total for the year is 67. Each hunt has produced at least one silver coin. A long the way I also found 3 14k gold rings, some silver jewelry and some other neat stuff. This is the best start I've every had for a year. To keep the streak going, I have to find at least one silver coin on every hunt. The pressure mounts!
Today I went straight to the corner lot that I got permission to hunt. The home was built in 1952 and the yard was loaded with trash. I started grid searching the yard and got a good silver coin VDI number and audio tone. I dug down and popped a 1964 Rosie dime. That took some pressure off!
When I was working the grassy near my SUV, I got a great audio signal and ID number that I just knew was a silver quarter before I even dug. Yep, a 1951 Washington. I'm on a roll!
Since it was so trashy I decided to go back over the same area with the smaller 5 inch DD search. It was finding a lot of modern coins that the larger search coil had missed. Finally I got my search coil over another silver coin, a 1950 Rosie. Happy, happy, happy. I also found 10 wheat pennies.
After leaving that site, I headed out for another site. I wasn't hardly finding anything and was about to call it a day. I made a final run down by a fence and got a ID what I thought was going to be another silver quarter, but it turned out to be a sterling silver ring and chain. I'm not sure about the chain, but the ring is stamped 'sterling'.

You certainly have the knack for getting good silver permissions. Your having and outstanding year, I'm not even going to try to best your silver count. Heck I'm only shooting for 60 silvers this year.
