Steve, how can you call it a vacation if your metal detector is not in your hand? By the way I have been rooting you on all the time. Also I just looked at your list and hit reply, I didn't read any of the other post yet. Why is your list so random, why aren't the dates in order and categorized by type of coin? My ocdness is freaking me out, is there a method to your madness, is this the order of how you pulled them out of the ground?

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa lol
Congrats you have to be the best I have read in the last two years at finding silver!

Ahhhhh enough with the pics. All of those NEW silvers are burning my eyes. I buy my coffee with mercs and pay tolls with barbers.

You couldn't go ten miles and one cup of coffee with the mercs and barbers you found the last two years.

The Brad. I thought of categorizing them but am too lazy. I'll get to it this winter if we go into another deep freeze buddy. I did the list in the order of finds...so I guess it represent the randomness of silver coin finds in general...

I need to know one thing...what's your secret with the half dollars?

No secret, just hit a lucky for me spot that somebody didn't get to in the last forty years. I'm with you Steve, I'm headed for Maine where Barbers and Merc's are still in circulation. I have been checking my change for two years and still haven't found one. I guess everyone in Maine pays there tolls and buys coffee with them. I can go back in time with Abe and join him. I wish I could get his autograph, next to you know who, he is the second best treasure hunter I have ever seen on this website.

Maine is a little behind the times I hear. Abe gets paid in cobs, from a chest, by a ship's purser, on the docks of Castine. Lol
