Hello My Friends!

Considering the way I was feeling last night, I definitely had no plans to go detecting today, especially in the rain. I was shivering in bed with an upset stomach last night, thinking I came down with a flu. I woke up this morning feeling better, but I knew I had some bug trying to attack my immune system. There was also another bug in my head telling me repeatedly......"You Need A Silver Fix". :tard: :tongue3: This second bug started to attack my whole body, and after Mike(ratman) called me this morning and said he was thinking about going out for a few hours, that's all I needed to hear.

Well, I'm glad I made the trip to the old LA park with Mike and his Dad. I quenched my "silver fix" with a silver dime trifecta, along with a handful of wheaties. It wasn't supposed to rain until after 2, but it started raining shortly after we arrived. My first two silvers (Rosie and Merc) came within minutes of arriving. The third silver, a Canadian Dime, came just at the time I couldn't take anymore of the wet, windy weather. That dime produced a mixed, high/low tone at around 7", and sure enough in the hole was a beaver tail with the dime. The fourth silver, a mercury dime, was found on Monday at my heavily pounded "silver" park. I think that may be the last one I find there. We'll see.

Considering the conditions, I had a very productive day in the turf. I'm home now feeling about the same as I did this morning. No better, no worse, but the pile of oldies I dug was the best medicine for killing the "silver fix" bug in my head. I'm sure it will be back again though....It never goes away! ;D

Thanks for looking!!
Keep The Passion High!! (Even In The Rain)

Glad ya got out and I hope you're feeling better. When are ya gonna run out of silver out there? LOL
 
Nice Haul,

Good hunting, I think you'll get better faster if your active.
Can we see the otherside of the coins, if not all them then just the Canadian one.

Good job!

Keep @ it and HH!!
 
The collection of silver dimes is, as usual, great!! WTG Dan :thumbsup:
Sorry you weren't feeling up to par, but you posted your usual great finds.
The dimes look really clean and the wheats don't look very worn for their ages.
The "good luck" pin was probably what got the silver to start rolling.
Congrats on a good/bad day of hunting. Gold Nuggets :icon_jokercolor:

You are one tough cookie Big Dan. Even sick, you pull out a trifecta. :icon_king:
Congrats on the strange combo too.
Hope you are doing better,
Doug
 
Wow Dan..You are the man going out in the rain and not feeling well to boot. Glad you did get out though. I am living through all the great posts from everyone. Still a foot of snow on the ground here in northern Indiana, although just west of us got another 24 inches of lake effect snow. Great finds again as usual my friend. Take care of yourself. The flu this year is bad.... :thumbsup: jgas
 
hi capt! i understand both sickness. ive had both bugs for a few days. nice finds. willy.
 
Nice job on the Dime trifecta!!! :) You are really cleaning up those parks down in southern california! You may have to start Coin roll hunting to crave your silver needs; if those parks are empty of silver...that is. lol

Thanks for putting a smile on my face Dan. Cabin fever has set in here :tard: ....but I sure do have a sparklin' clean SE on the shelf. I'm so bored....I ordered a new Lesche mini pick. When the weather warms up...I'm not waitin' for the next 3 weeks for the ground to thaw...hence the new lesche pick...to be carried along with the digger. :thumbsup:
Take care buddy
 
Yea I bet it felt good once you got out of the rain and with your silver tucked away. Last silver from that one park you say? hmm...

Hope you feel a lot better!
