Today brings my oldest silver quarter a new 1st & alot of much needed relaxation!

God out to a nice nice new spot today in the beautiful weather and things started out wierd, my atpro was full of chatter, I figured maybe it was the power lines close by so I switched through all four channels and nothing was working I tried taking the batteries out and restarting it and still nothing was working so I just started gridding hoping it would go away. as I got further away from the house chatter went away turns out most of the chatter was tons of nails can slaw pull tabs and other junk but I stuck with it though and managed some wheats from the early years 20s and 30s so I figured if there is wheats there's a silver or two in there. I kept on gridding and my eardrums nearly got blown out buy a beautiful 85 86 In N Out pops this amazing Standing Liberty quarter no date of coursemy first Standing Liberty quarter and oldest quarter by far!!!!!:headbang:, kept on gridding nd got some more wheats 30's 40's and 50's until I got a nice 8183 single I figured it was silver so I dug the plug and lo and behold it was my 5th silver this year 1941 Mercury dime! man I'm pumped to have a multi silver day again i haven't since last year!! I also found what looks like a lead ball that was fired, A lid to a type of old compact, and a neat religious metal that almost gave me a heart attack cause I thought it was gold IMG_20140418_113713.webpIMG_20140418_113658.webpIMG_20140418_121112.webp I finished the day with 16 wheats in the 20's to the 50's the cool religous metal a ton of scrap and also this really cool 1911 half penny but I have no idea where its from:icon_scratch: anyhow today was a very fun hunt on a beautiful day that was much needed thanks for looking and happy hunting

good job on on sticking it out.. It really paid off for you.
 
I figured if I stuck it out itd pay off, my goal this yr is to ask as much permission as possible, and work these properties hard, so far im at 5 silvers, at 5 sites i gained permission at, last year by this time I hadnt even found my first silver coin.
