Theres No More Silver in So. Cal...

There's No More Silver in So. Cal...



Okay, I was lying. I had a fun-filled detecting week. My buddies and I climbed a lot of hills this week. I went to at least three different parks that have produced silver in the past. And wouldn't you know it....more was found.

In my pic is another one (my second) of those 3-ring style bullets. It was found near my seated dime find. Also found the holed Belgian 5 Franc. It's a zinc coin, made during the Nazi occupation of the country.

The Washington was found at a barrio park today, along with a mint '27 S Mercury dime, and a '52 Rosie. And 34 wheaties for your viewing pleasure!!

Thanks for looking! Only 11 more silver coins to go 'til I hit 1000 silvers in two years. I have until the end of January to do it. I purchased my SE at the end of Jan. '07.

Happy Holidays!
Keep the Passion High!

I thought you were going to have to move!!! LOL
Nice finds altogether!!!

Thanks, Ty! I just may have to in a few more years.

WTG CAPTN SE!!!! You are still my hero 8) ... I managed to get a 1941 Quarter today which makes my total for 2008 a whopping 56...
Sure would like to see a photo of that wilver pile you have dug for 2008... Closer to the end of the year of course ...

HH Robert

Thanks, Robert! Hey, congrats on your '41 quarter!! A very good find! Yeah, you'll have to wait a little bit longer for my year end...but it will be here before you know it.

Nice silver dan, you are right that merc is sweet. I found a three ring bullet just like that this summer, do you know what age they are. HH
JDD

Thanks, JDD. Yeah, the '27 merc looks like the day it was minted. I was told the bullet is a .45-70, typically used back in the later half of the 19th century to kill buffalo. It was a "buffalo" bullet. But I'm sure it was being used for something else in my area at the time....I don't think there were any buffalo around the LA area.

It doesn't matter if you purchased the SE in Jan.of 1999 Dan...1000 Silver's is Awesome Regardless......I'm sure I'll hear from you again!!!!!

Thanks, Civil!! Appreciate it!! Why don't you try getting out and swing your machine in your backyard again.

all of that shinny silver looks very nice.Congrats on your haul.
Good luck on your goal for 2000 silver coins.

fortbball9

Thanks, fortbball9!! I don't have any goals to get 2000. That's way to far off to even imagine. Each year, the silver gets less and less in the parks here. My silver count this year is only half of what I found last year....I suspect the forthcoming year will be even half of that. Not something to look forward to.

Nice finds!! I'd say you've got a few more years of large silver counts before you're area is thinned out!! You might have to find Parks further away for the east stuff!! I do like the bullet!

Thanks, Jack. I'm definitely going to have to find more parks in my area....hope and pray they hold silver.

Wow, you keep impressing me with all that silver you find out there!

Thanks, Seger98. I'm actually trying to blind you from the reflection of the silver....

The way you're going, that will be true someday!

It sure will. "Someday" is a day that will come sooner than I want.

Eleven more to go? Hmmm... That's one and a half hunts. No problem!

Congrats on the great coinage, Dan! Those Mercs are gorgeous!

I wonder what that bullet hit....
Neil

Thanks, Neil. I'm not sure what the bullet hit, but those types typically were used to kill buffalo in the late 1800's.

Congrats on the fine silvers, Dan.
If I can do half as well as you have done in 2 years with my new SE,
I will be just plumb tickled!! Keep up the nice finds, look forward to all your posts.
Gold Nuggets

Thanks, goldNuggets!! Best of luck to you with your new machine....I definitely know you will be finding more.

I have GOT to start using my MDs more often for more than just gold prospecting.Sounds like nice totals to me.Good luck on the next 11.

Thanks, Takoda! I'd like to try some gold hunting too. I tried it a few times....nothing with my detector, but got some color in my sluice box.

If I was a bettin' man...and yes I've hit the gambling boat a few times ....I'd just about bet you hit #1000 by the deadline
Nice digs my friend.

Thanks, Bryce!! Hope you're able to get out there just one more time....if not, just sit back and enjoy the ride on Tnet!!

hit 1000 silvers in two years ?......You absolutely WILL !........You are the reason (indirectly) I bought a Minelab (E-Trac)...
My hunting buddy (GOIO)........was finding pretty much NOTHING 8 months ago...Till he read your posts,and bought an SE.....Then the Pro coil....(In June ?).............
After digging tons of nails and watching your posts.................His finds started to SKYROCKET.....................I had been a Compass detector hunter.......+.....lots of other brands.
When GOIO found silver our 1st 3 hunts with his SE,and said he was buying the E-T....I followed suit,and (in that 3+ months) have never looked back.
GOIO should find his 300th silver this weekend,and I'll bee with him finding shiny of my own.
I know exercise does a body good,and I hope you are still feeling well.

Thanks, McEtrak. I've been told by many on this and other forums, that I, "indirectly" was the reason why they purchased a Minelab machine. I'm feeling well....much better than I was last year...Thanks!! Good luck with your new machine....I'm sure you will do great with it, unless Goio finds every silver there in the Chicago area to find.

1000 silver coins in two years is an awesome feat! We're going to have to promote you to general!

Thanks, Winslow!! A few on this forum tried promoting me, but General doesn't sound as good as "Captn".

Yo Dan! Your post title had me going for a minute ~ I thought that your streak had ended!! NO WAY JOSE!! That's AWESOME!!! Them's is some nice silver coins ~ WOOHOO!!!!

Almost 1000 silvers in two years?!?!?!? HOLY COW!!! YOU ROCK!!!!! You'll hit that 1000 before the end of January!

Re: There's No More Silver in So. Cal...

Congratulations on all the silver . I have taken my Minelab Explorer SE out twice since I got it, and seem to only find clad quarters. Heck let me in on the secrets here!!! I have over $200.00 in coins I've detected so far since I started 3 months ago (using a Tesoro), and still not one silver Are you working by ferrous readings, or by sound? Can you help me out on settings, or some friendly advice before I think about standing on a street corner with a sign ' Will work for silver coins' lol.
