Hello!
Well, we just got back from a very long drive to Eastern Idaho. We went there for our neice's wedding. Lucky for me I decided to bring along my E-Trac in hopes of hitting a park that we've hit before several times years ago.
All I can say is "WOW"!!! The first day I went there with my nephew Shane for less than a 3 hour hunt ~ he watched me dig six silver coins . . . . 2 rosie dimes, 3 Merc dimes, and a 1912-D Barber Half dollar! Plus several wheat cents and some clad.
On the 2nd day I got to detect for about 4 hours ~ I ended up with 7 more Merc dimes, 1 Rosie dime, '44-s silver quarter, 2 War nickels, 1920 buffalo nickel, 1890 Indian Head cent, 1992 clad half dollar, more wheat cents, and a BULL DURHAM 'charm'.
That's 15 silver coins!!! And 23 Wheat cents dating from 1917 to 1951.
I'm not sure when the next time I'll be over there in Idaho, but I'll make sure to bring my E-Trac with me to hit it again!
My silver coin count is 92 now for the year! Only need 8 more to hit my goal of 100 for the year . . . . . and it's only mid JULY! Last year I dug 102 silvers coins, and in 2008 (my best year ever) I dug 104 silver coins . . . . . I'm in good shape to break that record in 2010!
THANKS for looking!
Neil
