The weather has been nice, and the office has been slow, and that spells treasure hunting for me!

I went out on Friday, I hit a site where a block of homes were demolished. It is really trashy, so most people don't want to hunt there. I was able to find three Wheaties and a '36 Merc that has seen better days... scratched, tarnish and a bit melted looking!

On Saturday I went out to an older local school. I was assured by the seasoned local detectorists that their Etracs had left nothing for me there. They said that they hunted the place for 30 years! They laughed, I proceeded on, low and slow with the Deus. I got a deep, scratchy, broken signal... there were nails in the hole, once I removed them, the signal cleared up... and a '45 Walker emerged from about 7" deep! Flushed with success, I proceeded onward, and shortly thereafter, a squeaky mixed tone appeared... and out comes a '46 Rosie! The sweet smell of vindication!

Todd Lipe took me out of Sunday. He dug the only silver, much to my chagrin, however I scored this sweet 1867 green IHC!

That's the third silver half that I have found in 30 days!
YTD silver coins: 84

Thanks looking, and best of luck to you on your hunts!

Congratulations on Big Silver CT and BTW you're Welcome. Todd if you are ever around and you witness CT opening his wallet stand way back the dust and cobwebs will choke you:laughing7:

Thanks buddy.

Todd says that he needs a few bucks for beer, because he saw me give a homeless guy some beer money during yesterday's hunt. I don't drink at all, because I am a lush. I figured that I was paying the guy to drink for me!
 

Nice haul. Always fun to dig those big walkers!
 

Excellent finds my friend, as always I'm slightly envious but more so happy for you. You put in the time to find the good stuff!
 

Very nice I think that Indian is more valuable than the walker
All very nice
 

That's the way to show m! Go to places like that and hunt in all metal and u will pull the goodies. Most hunters want do that even after 30 yrs!

While you are a very nice guy I know for a fact you never pull your wallet out so I'm sure you had to "borrow a few bucks" from Todd. I guess you didn't give him that Real Silver either because I know how you like those BIG LADIES:laughing7:
 

I really like the 1867 IHP. Those late 1860's Indians are hard to come by
 

Great finds Tom. You are killing the silvers. That big silver is nice.
 

Nice hunt Tom! Sweet walker and the IH has a perfect green color to it. :thumbsup:
 

NICE SILVER THERE TOM .....
 

Tom, I see you still have that silver Mojo going for you.:thumbsup: I can't complain when it comes to silvers this season. I sure would like to check the Walker off my list along with an SLQ. Keep those silvers from the school a secret, otherwise there will be more XP Deus's to contend with locally.
 

Beautiful big silver
 

Excellent Tom
Same guy designed the Walker and the Mercury.
Two really pretty coins. Congrats

Kurt Kurt Kurt you are kidding right? Todd's the one putting in All the work. How long do you think it takes Todd to mark all that Silver in the middle of the night for CT with sticks:laughing7:
