Got up early Saturday morning and took off south with my hunting buddies Earl and Marinedad looking for some diggable turf. After about an hour and a half of driving we found a soft spot and the Lesche diggers started to smile.
Marinedad and I tuned up our E-trac's and Earl reved up his new CTX 30/30. After about an hour of clad and a couple of Wheaties I hit a squealing 12-46 at 6 inches. When I flipped the plug I saw the silver rim. I called Earl over and we proceeded to extract the coin as if we were performing brain surgery. The operation was a success! A 1954-S Washington quarter.
Silver #9! Then after about another hour I decided to work closer to the road because Earl had already dug four silver dimes with the CTX within two foot of the road. After about five minutes I hit a solid 12-42 at 5 inches and I thought it was going to be another Wheatie. When I flipped the plug out popped a 1912-D Barber dime.
Silver #10 for 2013. Also got a couple of Wheaties and 24 clad coins totaling $1.75. Happy hunting to all!
