What a trip we had ! This place I have been hunting near my parents cabin in the Sierras keeps giving up the old silver ! I hunted twice while we were on vacation . The first was an evening hunt till it was dark , not much found , clad and a broken junk kids ring . The next morning my son , Carson and I got out early at 630 am and hit it hard . My son was the first to strike silver . He had a +77 at 2 inches and out popped a sweet 1928S Merc . He was grinning ear to ear :grin: . Then I got a +24 at 3 inches , a 1944P silver war nickel . We were both on the board . Then it happened , a crazy mixed up target at 7 inches . It was +28 , +45 , +68 , +72 , it was everywhere but kept repeating . I know from the past at this location to dig a target like this . I got down to the target and I saw silver in the pile of dirt . Not any silver but the oldest coin I had ever found at this place . It was a 1875 Seated dime :shocked04: ! My son and I were going crazy . Then I stated to fill the hole in and as I did I had another high tone , Seated number two ! A 1891 Seated dime ! My first ever Seated spill ! So I checked again and on the side of the hole at 9 inches another high tone , +72 . The third and final coin of the spill was a 1908 Indian cent ! I think it will be a long time before I top this one ! The next coin went to my son , a 1949S wheat at 2 inches . After that we found some clad and were ready to head back to the cabin when I got a screaming +92 at 2 inches . One more silver coin for the hunt , a 1946S Washington quarter . What a hunt we had . We are going to try and get back for one more hunt this year before it gets to cold , maybe more silver is waiting . thumbsup01

Found out today that the family cabin where I stay for these hunts and the area of the hunt is now only 8 miles from the Rimm Fire here in California . The cabin was built by my Grandfather and Father in 1970 . We should know in the next two days if both are spared by the fire .

Hope that place survives. But if not, you have a cabin to build. You can't let the fire win ;)
