I slipped over to the Honey Hole this morning to meet P@tch. It was cold, hovering around freezing, however we did not let that slow us down. Here is what came out of the pouch.

I managed to find a Dominican Republic coat button, my fourth from the site. P@tch has one also. They came from a small area. I also found a flat button, but I’m not sure it’s old.

I tried to find a gold ring, but all I got was 4 nickels, a hem weight and a ton of pull tabs.

I dug a ‘59 dime and 8 wheaties.

It’s been a great run, but it’s coming to an end. I can share some info and pics with you at this point. It’s 8 acres, 82 apartments built in 1940 and completely EMPTY... about 5 acres of cut grass. A coin shooters dream come true. We started hunting it on December 14th, today’s silver was number 32 from the site, for me. A lot of other people found stuff too. I’m going to miss this spot.

Great job!! It’s nice seeing all sorts of finds.
 

Congrats on all that Silva Buddy! Thanks for sharing Smittymans site.. oops I meant your site with me these last few weeks. My turn to find a new Honey Hole. See you soon.
 

honey holes can be hard to find and are worth keeping hush about. sounds like you got it to pay off very well Sir, for you and the others. Great to have good friends to share time and experiences with, although I would be careful around that rough looking one. Hope you guys find another spot quickly. DL
 

Nice sight. I can't tell it's had the heck pounded out of it by a band of pirates either. Well done. Congrats on your booty mate!
 

Thats a big honey hole! Its been fun following your progress. Lets hope you find another hole soon.
 

Amazing that you're still pulling silver from there. Well done CT. You give us something to aspire for! I'm just hoping our recent site is half that good. Thanks for sharing all your finds!

Out of curiosity, does the city own and maintain the land now?
 

Congratualtions on the nice finds! :occasion14:
 

Nice pile of keepers Tom, post a group shot of all that silver if you get the chance :occasion14:

Here is a pic of the 32 silver coins that I have dug since December 14th, at the Honey Hole. I have gotten in 13 hunts, a little more than 50 hours. It has really been a lot of fun.

It’s private, it will be demolished and redeveloped. I spoke to the property manager yesterday. Told him to run any MDers out of there that he sees! Hopefully it will last a couple more weeks, but we will just have to see how it goes.

Thanks for the nice comments. I wish you and Junior the best of luck.

It's been a fun site, I've been eyeing it a few years...
 

Very nice Tom. Keep in “detecting shape” for that trip North this Spring. Perhaps a revisit to Shangri-La?

I look forward to seeing you buddy. Shangri-La sounds good to me. I just lie going hunting with you and the boys, yeah I like finding stuff, but the whole scene is the real reward.
 

It looks like that site has been very good to you Tom. Congrats on the boat load of silver.
