Here They Are...Over 500 Wilvers!!

[Captn SE]

Hello Everyone,

As promised, here's a couple pics of my 507, and counting, silver coins I've dug this year so far. The first pic contains my Halfs, Quarters, Barbers, Mercs, and War Nickels. The second pic are my Rosies. Total coinage value is about $57. Total weight is about 3.5 pounds. All were individual silver finds, mostly from the turf, from a total of about 44 parks...no caches...I had a few multiple silver holes, which are always exciting to dig. My best silver and most rewarding find so far has to be the 1858 Seated Half I found about 3 weeks ago in a heavily hunted area. Interestingly, after almost 450 silver dimes found, I've found about the same number of mercs as rosies. To pull these silvers out of the ground, I had to dig over 2200 wheaties, a handful of Indian Heads and Buffalos, lots of clad(about $900 worth), a good amount of jewelry(about 68 silver pieces, a few gold), and a mess of trash. It's been a truly great year for me so far. Just looking at these pics has brought back so many great memories of my prior hunts(I just did a double fist pump!!)....hoping to get maybe a 100 more before the year end....we'll see.

If I had to give one helpful bit of information for all md'ers out there it would have to be this:
Never give up on an area that you think has been hunted out.....it hasn't...

Thanks for looking,
CAPTN SE

What? That's it? I thought you said you found some stuff?

Having a little trouble breathing looking at all that silver. Hey I have found 7 peices of silver and 32 wheats so I am catching up to you. If I live to be 120 I might maybe catch up.

I've found 2 silver Rosies and 1 Merc in the last 5 months. I just can't imagine that much silver! I think you may have found more silver coins than I have found coins!! I am very happy for you and wish you continued success. I am still looking for better places to hunt. Are you going to give us a final total and a pic of the jewelry for the year?? I, for one, would sure like to see that~!

Unfortunately Dan has some type of illness (since a few years ago) and from what I know he has not been able to ge out anymore. I taked to him last year and he was starting to ge a little better but don't know about now. I cannot remember the name of his illnesss but from what I know it is somewhat crippling. That's all I can tell you. I pray and hope for his returnto wha he loved the most. Ron

Dan WAS ill but he's BACK!

He's been going strong since the mid-year and I think he's still killing those silvers.

We'll probably see a reply real soon.

Yes, He just PM'd me and I was happy to hear that he's been doing fairly well. Maybe he'll chime in later

call 'em WILVERS... call 'em SILVERS..... heck call 'em what you will... when you have that many finds... you have earned the right to re-name them as you choose!

WOW is all I can say..... I do't care how long you been hunting, this should not only impress but also inspire you to greatness!
