Found Silver yesterday

[NGE]

Sorry about posting here, but I fell asleep after resizing these pics. I went to a well hunted area yesterday, and the first hit was this 1948 quarter, ( I thought it was going to be an awesome day ) NOT! only got 2 wheats all day and the rest is clad.

Hey Not GE, a '48 quarter would make my day!! I guess there's a benefit to having lower standards...

Congrats on what I think is a great hunt!

Nice hunt

A '48 quarter from a hunted out park is an awesome day.

Keep @ it and HH!!

Close, but no cigar. The park is NOT hunted out. There are a couple members of our club that are finding several silvers a day ( couple hours actually ) but I haven't figured out where yet . This park is about 17 miles long, it is a flood plain park and there are lots of woods I have not hunted yet.....NGE

NGE, if it is a floodplain park, that has had periodic torrents, why not try to work it as a placer claim?

Try downstream of historically popular areas where deposition may have settled out.

Either that, or where most recent erosion has made kerfs across the terrain like a storm removing sand from a beach at the ocean.

Gosh, 17 miles of detecting. That has almost endless possibilities, doesn't it?

rmptr, I have hunted a shorter park that is a floodplain also. On the inside cuts of the river over the land mass, I have found older coins very shallow, and on the outside curves, I have found newer stufff quite deep due to sand being deposited on top of the land mass. Never thought about gold being left behind. The only gold I have found in either of these parks, comes in the shape of jewelry. And not much of that lately. Both parks have the same river running through them and they both, quite often flood. They both have rocky and muddy bottoms in different areas....... NGE

dude i would say thats an awesome day to me!!! Congratulations!

Just saw the smaller of the two flood plain parks, my wife said;" Where did all that sand come from?" There were 3 little kids playing in the newly formed sand box, way to far inland to call it a beach, but it sure looks like one . Now all the 2000's state quarters that may have been lost in that area, are now under at least 9" of fresh sand that the grass will soon grow up through. Kind of a scary thought, huh?.......NGE

A 1948 quarter would make for an awesome day for me as well. But I'm with Kimsdad, I'm all about low expectations. That way, I'm still complacent with some deep clad. lol

I love those pounded out parks. They still give up the goodies. HH
