The Wilver is Still Flowing...

Captn SE · Oct 3, 2007

Hello everyone,

Been out detecting with my hunting buddies the past couple of days, and scored a few wilvers, along with a Utah sales tax token, and a small sterling religious charm. The '52 quarter was down about 7". At the bottom of my plug, I saw the rim of it lying underneath a tree root. A beautiful site!! ::)

The hunkin' Aussie penny was found last week. When I saw the edge in the hole, I thought it was a large cent....oh well. Also found this key yesterday. Never found one like this before. To find this wilver, I dug about 37 wheaties out of the ground, along with a small assortment of clad, iron and other trash items. The park is just an old hunting ground in the heart of Los Angeles. I've found about 47 wilvers this year in the areas I hunted the past two days.

Speaking of quarters, I separated all my clad quarters from my other clad finds to get a rough estimate of my $$ amount. I have about 2200 quarters this year. I've already turned in 1100. I think the money will be used for gas funds to find more wilver....I'm not changing a thing with my 'tector.

Thanks for looking,

I have given it some thought, and with the numbers you are finding, you should move to New England.

The silver Roosies are great and everything, yada yada, but you should be plying the town greens of Mass, VT, and NH. There, seven inches down, and you are at least at Barber age, if not older.

Better yet, I am getting an SE and moving to New England.

Stay where you are Cap'n, HH'ing!

Plehbah,

I had a friend who went to the New England area a few months back hoping to strike a bunch of old silver. No such luck. The finds are older there at that depth, but definitely less frequent. I think for shear numbers, you can't beat the area I'm in. Yes, a lot of common silver, but I'll take it.

Where are you located at? Maybe I'll take a trip there to rape and pillage your town....

OOhhh there is old silver in New England allright. here is some of the finds some freimds of mine dug last year. They haven't posted their '07 finds yet.

BTW, these are E-II finds, '07 are SE finds.

If in fact that large aussie penny had been a 1930 you would have found a coin worth $20, 000 . large U.S or 1930 i guess 1930 congrats on your finds
