Weekend Hunts: Silver & The Usual Junque

[Carolina Tom]

I was able to get out both days this weekend. The weather was cool and nice.

Saturday: P@tch took me out for a little hunt. It turned out to be a good day for him, and just mediocre for myself. I did get a token, from Rings O Romance, they made diamond rings from the 1920s until the 1950s. You get $20 off of a diamond ring that costs more than $67.50! Ah, the good old days. (Electrolysis: Before & after pics)

Sunday: I met P@tch in the morning, he suggested we hit the "Bed Of Nails". It is an old house site that is covered in nails... however it has given up some silver coins. I hunted for one hour and found (4) coins, two wheats, a Washington and a Rosie... and about (100) nails (see pic). A little while later... I got a war nickel. Three silvers in one day is good for me.

I was also able to locate:
- 50 Cal. Brass.
- Thimble from Monopoly game.
- Harmonium reed.
- Aluminum tokens: Spur & Red Goose Shoes.
- 9 Wheaties.

SirWalterRaliegh came to town on Sunday afternoon, so Smittyman and I hunted with him a little bit. I let him use my AT Pro, and let me tell you, he was all over it!

YTD silver coins: 14

Thanks for looking and best of luck on your hunts!

Congrats Tom on your silver trifecta!

Nice saves. Glad yesterday turned out better for you than Saturday.

Great haul tom!, I like the shot of the war nickel in the flower, OD would be proud!

Sunday was better than Saturday, because YOU did not spend the entire day spanking me!

Does your foot ever get sore from kicking my butt?

 

[Scrappy]

Very nice brother. Rumor has it you kicked the crap out of a CTX and Etrac?!?! Also I liked the way you spelled junk. It makes it sound so sophisticated! Lol

Nice job. I have only ever had one 3 silver hunt so I definitely consider that a great day. Certainly better than my weekend. I think I cleared .36 cents in clad.

Nice going!! But I thought the Deus was able to find silver without digging the nails?

 

[sscindercoop]

Sweet silver!!!!

I wasn't going to say anything... BUT since you brought it up. Yeah, there was a CTX and an Etrac present, however, they did not find any silver coins in the Nail Bed.
