Silver Streak Ends.

[Chizzy]

Took my new/used fully equipped work van out for a weekend hunt,



in the hopes of continuing the silver finds. But, it was not to be. Saturday was beautiful........60+ degrees......a real pleasure. Then spent 2 hours on Sunday with 34 degrees, 20 mph winds and snow furrlies (yes, furrlies) swirling, hunting for the elusive metal........it was brutal!!



Managed to find a couple hand fulls of wheat and a couple of decent relics..........but, the mini silver streak ended at 6.

Thanks for lookin' in and good luck to all of you for the remainder of this hunting season!!

Chizzy, I was rooting for you to keep the streak going. Well it looks like you still had a good hunt none the less. Crazy weather we're having here in PA. I can't believe you were out today it's brutal!!!

Thanks for the cheer, $stinger! My wife thinks I'm crazy for going out there today, but I just had to try........it's a good spot. Really difficult to wait til spring to hit it.

That's a damn fine silver streak! I've only ever managed 4 consecutive hunts with a silver coin. Congratulations! Now let's get a new streak cook'n!!!!!

Nice hunt! I love the way you set up your van.

Shame the silver streak ended, you still had a good day and a good silver run before today.
Won't be long and you'll be on another run.

Always sad to see a Silver Streak come to an end.
Glad you got out and congrats on your finds.

When are you gonna frame the van i and install the paneling and shag carpeting? I have a Mazda MPV, I keep the rear seats folded down into the floor and made a false floor so all my gear can stay out of site.

I can see you are really obsessed with this hobby like me and many others. I was out Fri, Sat, and then again Sunday. In the low 30's with high winds after snow fell over the evening. I am out there until the ground freezes or the snow is too deep.

Thank you, Silvermonkey, but to be accurate, not all those silver finds were coins. 2 War nickles, a GW quarter, 3 silver rings and a silver bracelet charm. I'm sure gonna try to get another one goin' before the ground freezes!!

Nice hunt! I love the way you set up your van.

Thanks, Doc..... the picture of the work truck was taken on a job site and many of the tools were inside. But, the important one is always hangin' there ready for immediate use!!

Yeah, deershed......I always heard that good things have to end. But, so do the bad things!! There's another streak out there just awaitin'!!

Thanks, atw.......I pushed really hard on Saturday to keep it going, but all I turned over was wheat..........

Thanks, art.....I'd also like to get a streak of those large coppers you seem to find on a regular basis......heck, I'd like to find any large copper!!

Already have a nice thick piece of carpet for wall to wall, end to back of seats install. The carpet now on the floor is actually 2 pieces of covered 1/2" plywood. I'll salvage some more carpet from jobs this winter for the sides and build boxes and shelves for the tools and crucial equipment!!
Yeah, Loco-Digger.......extreme weather is about the only thing that will keep me from swingin' that coil!! I was out today after work for an hour (little over $1 in clad). There are more days ahead good enough to get out there! I just need to remember when it gets too bad that March is just around the corner!!
