Man Vs. Pricker Patch- A 5 Silver Day

[Silvermonkey]

I was able to get out for a quick two hour hunt this afternoon close to home. Given the semi-drought conditions in our area, I decided to focus my efforts on a dried up vernal pool and the surronding area. The pricker bushes were very thick, but I did my best to swing through them.



Back about 100 years, this spot served as a picnic area for local residents as well as visitors from Boston trying to escape the summer heat. The dried up vernal pool produced two crusty Washington quarters (1937-not shown & 1946). The pricker patch produced a nice pocket spill ( 1925 & 1929 SLQ, and a 1928? Wheatie). A very deep (about 8 inches) 1923 Merc rounded out the day.



The SLQ's cleaned up very well. I was happy that both had readable dates. It's been quite some time since I've had a 4 silver quarter day.



Thanks for having a look. Hope everyone is enjoying the Fall hunting season. Cheers!

That's a good idea Mike. I think I wood need an industrial strength weed-wacker to make any headway. If I go slow, stepping on the pricker stalks in front of me, I'm able to create some swinging space. I'm going to keep working through this spot, and will report back on any success.

 

[Mr. Digger]

Congrats on the silver haul, SM. Those SLQ's are sweet! Love the spill.

 

[E-Trac-Ohio]

I know what it's like to hunt in very nasty overgrown areas like that.
And I have a lot of scars to prove it.

 

[xr7ator]

one silver for every 24 minutes of swinging in an area that swinging is very difficult is an excellent way to spend two hours! I would be working that area a lot more and hope you will with great success. Do keep us posted and thanks for sharing.

Im lucky to find one silver a week!! Great hunt! Congratulations

 

[Ed_DE]

Congratulations! Finding that many silvers in one hunt is rare nowadays.
As far as walking through those thorny briars. It can take the fun out of metal detecting. Especially if you take one in the face.

 

[oldmxrat]

Awesome hunt, and those SLQs are killer, congrats!
