Got a Big ol' Honkin' piece of Silver today
Met up with forum members T-Bucket (G-Money)...and JohnDeerDigger (JDD) at a couple of pounded parks we hunt.
They were both kind enough to drive over 2 hours to hunt with me because they know my dad is not well.
..and my driving limit to hunt is about 1 hour.
I'm tired...it's been a long day...and I have to work a 10 hour shift tomorrow
...so this post will be short and sweet....especially since I only found two coins in 4 hours 
The merc was a two way hit on edge at about 6"...which sounded like iron...but had that sweet spot to it...so I took a chance.
The shocker of the day was the monster Sterling silver/coral/mother of pearl necklace pendant which weighs a whopping 31 grams
and has the sweet bearclaw in it 
That thing was over 11" deep and had a big clod of smelted metal right in the hole with it.
You talk about a jumbled up mess of a sound to go for 8)...but I gave the iffy hit the nod because it sounded between an injun and a wheatie...and would tip to silver every so often.
I first found the clod of metal with the probe...but after removing the clod...bingo...it sang again about another 3" deeper.
The hole kept filling up with water...and I kept slopping it out as fast as it kept pouring in.
I finally stuck my hand deep in the muck and plucked out a big pile of slop.
Then is when I saw the big chunk of silver. 
It cleaned up nicely. Sure would've like to have found the big silver chain it was probably hangin' from
I took an extra scan of it above the coins to show how huge it really is
Oh well...what a fun day.
JDD and T-Bucket each got a merc and a wheatie too...so it was a good day all around.
Thanks for viewing and good luck on your next hunt.
