Found a good spot on the river to score my first water silvers and they’re old too!

I was excited when the Equinox was announced because now their was a cheaper waterproof machine that would work in the local brackish river. I knew their had to be some good spots to hunt along it but I had tried several times to find one without any luck. This time I hit a spot where oyster shell covered the beach and was eroding from the shoreline. Had to have been a lot of activity there. I found two toasted indians, two toasted large coppers(One may be a KG II hibernia), 1853 half dime, 1876 dime and a 1898 Barber dime. Also picked up a bunch of various whatsits, a bunch of brass nails and a fragment of an early buckle. Found most of this stuff below the high tide line without even getting my feet wet. I dont like snakes and its hard to recover targets underwater. Might just stick to hunting the dry at low tide

You're into the good stuff, now! I think I would "Bite the Bullet" and do the shallow water, too!

Thanks. Actually, all these finds came from a small area. The silvers were no more than 5 feet away from one another. Not alot of huntable area at this particular spot

Sounds like a killer spot there. I would find a way to hunt every inch I could. Great saves

Are the snakes in the water or on land? Interesting dilemma. Gary
