One Pound of Silver From One Hole!

[Fenway]

I was finally able to hook up with Whydah for another hunt. I was certainly not disappointed!

When this showed up in my scoop I thought it was a toy or something. I could not tell how heavy it was because my scoop was full of rocks. When I first picked it up I was thinking "wow, that's heavy"! When I flipped it over and saw that it was stamped "one pound of fine silver .999" I was still in disbelief! I could faintly hear Leighton saying "what is it buddy" as I just kept staring at this coin in amazement! I still can't believe it!

Another thing that is cool about this coin is that it is from 1986 when I worked at Fenway Park. Yes, the ball went through Buckner's legs! I was able to see all of the home games from that year and the few years that followed. I was just a sophomore in high school then and the memories will be with me forever. That's when I earned the nickname "Fenway" from all of my buddies.

On the way home we discussed ways this coin could have ended up out in the mud. It's not really a coin that someone would bring to the beach and then lose. Was it thrown there? Was it sacrificed

The gold eluded us yesterday, but I certainly grabbed my best find to date!



Thanks for another unbelievable hunt Buddy, you never cease to amaze!
Looking forward to our next adventure!

Still in shock,
Fenway

Never knew they made those. I will dig all beer cans for now on. Congrats

Yep, the guys that leave the big signals like beer cans, would also leave something like that. Where did you get that stone crab claw in your avatar pic, that thing is huge.

i vote banner also this is my first banner vote congrats on a real nice find

Wow, that a once-in-a-lifetime find!

You should weigh it to get its weight (I apologize if this was brought up earlier in the thread). There is the 16 oz pound we're all used to, and then there's a "troy pound" which is used in metals. A troy pound is 12 ounces. But that would just be a shame to only find 12 ounces of silver, haha!

congrats on an awesome find!

Nice digs and thanks for the pics

Holy guacamole, that's a handful of silver! Congrats!!

 

[detectahead]

Great find!! Just when the immigration situation is in full controversy you come up with this "monster coin" that relates to it! That's really uncanny.

 

[cudamark]

Wow! How deep was it? I'm surprised you dug it up. If I got a signal like that, I would presume it to be another of a zillion soda cans I find when I dig those huge, high pitched targets, and just pass it by.

 

[Fenway]

You know what all of the veterans say: "dig everything"! It was not that deep. In fact, I kept "pushing" the target with my scoop - probably because it would not fit in easily! So I chased it around for a while! I am fortunate that it did not get all scratched up with all that chasing!

I normally scoop everything at the beach too but if I get an overload or an "aluminum can" hit, it's real easy to say "to heck with it" after you've been baking in the hot sun for a few hours and your arms feel like jello.

 

[Fenway]

Cladgrabber, its funny because my CTX never gave me the "overload" signal when I was digging it. I just bench tested it and I did get the overload signal. Weird.

Epic find bro! I would have bet money it was a soda can and skipped it.
