Just talking about regular coinshooting, I remember one day several years ago when I was hunting a very productive spot next to an old refreshment stand across the street from some ballfields. The finds were so plentiful it seemed like I just couldn't get off of my knees. By noon time I was exhausted. I went back to my car to take a break and counted my finds. I had 28 silver pieces. Then some old guy drove up and asked me how I was doing. I made the mistake of telling him how good I had done in just a couple hours of detecting. I went and had lunch and came back later. I found that same old guy was just leaving himself. He told me that while I was away, he had found 16 more silver pieces where I had just hunted. He told me that I should remember to never tell anybody if I'm having a good day detecting because they'll be right in there finding stuff that I should have found. I found out later that he was one of the best of the early metal detectorists in the area. Lesson learned.

Loose lips do sink ships

Regardless of how good or how bad my day is, I always give the same scripted answer:

"....a few pennies and a lot of pulltabs...."

My best day ever was that great but.... one silver washington, two silver mercs, one silver half dime, and one big chunck of float copper.

My best in one day so far is 7.

There is a spot locally that a lady hunted though back in 70s or 80s and found 100 silver dimes in one day. I know it sounds crazy, but she hit a virgin playground and it was loaded.

But I've heard plenty of stories of the guys I hunt with having over $5.00 face value in silver by lunchtime when they used to hunt in the 70s.

It took alot of research but I found 6 in one day. The same site produced 27 silver coins, 9 IH pennies and 57 wheat pennies. I dug it for about 2 months.

Been swing a coil for 2 years still looking for my first silver.

 

[renegade_7]

Six in one day has been my best. Found 3 last week in a short outing. Some have found a bunch in one day, just gotta be the first one to a lost or virgin site, then hang on and keep hitting it.

I have never found more than one silver coin in a days time. I keep giving those results a lot of thought and keep coming up with...... Yup, location, location, location! Just have to find a better hunting spot and then......keep claiming the above!

 

[Mike95inNJ]

My best is 6 silver in one outing.

16 silvers in one day..In about 20 minutes @ The Silver Mine about 8 years ago. All within a 5x5 foot area. I was on that spot looking for a key someone dropped with a borrowed Big Bud Pro (I never used a detector before then) That Silver Strike alone got me hooked on detecting.

My absolute best day with a detector.

KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT

You never know who's looking. I keep my nice finds deep in an inner pocket somewhere, quickly squirreling them away as I find them. The common stuff goes in the pouch and ALL the trash I can stuff in my pouch is right up front.

I have to admit to some sadistic glee when Im approached by someone who asks, "Find anyhting?"
"Sure, always," I say and shake my pouch vigorously, everything in it rattling loudly.
They usually get a look somewhere between suspicion and greed at that moment. Then, just when the suspense has reached it's zenith, I teasingly reach in and ....... haul out a handful of can slaw, old lightbulbs, foil and iron lumps, extending this vat "treasure" towards them willingly - as several pulltabs and corroded zincers flutter from my clenched fist to the ground.
"See," I say.
"Oh," (more like, "Oh my!) is the usual reaction as they take a step or two in retreat. They wish me, "Good Luck," or some other half-hearted platitude and fairly well move along at that point. I see them shaking their heads and muttering to their friends or family and pretty soon, the whole place knows for sure what a crackpot I am...better left alone.
