It took me 16 years to find this BIG SILVER today !

[PL8MAN]

I had the day off so I meet up with Ryan at an old location that will give up a silver still . Today it opened up BIG TIME ! I'll start with the first good find , about an hour into a 2 1/2 hour hunt I got a sweet +81 at one inch . I pulled back the grass and saw ring #7 and it was silver http://tnet.forumfoundry.com/forums/images/smilies/icon_thumright.gif . Then a good 30 minutes later I was getting lots of +74 and +77 at all depths , all were pennies and dimes . One target was jumpy at 6 inches going between +74 , +77 and even hit +80 twice . I dug down and saw the sweetest thing ever , a BIG SILVER COIN EDGE !!!! I call Ryan over to see it . I was thinking silver half dollar but no it was the coin I had been looking for http://tnet.forumfoundry.com/forums/images/smilies/hello2.gif. I couldn't believe it , I was shaking http://tnet.forumfoundry.com/forums/images/smilies/blob8.gif . It was my first ever Morgan silver dollar ! It's a 1883 with no mint mark . I still can't believe it http://tnet.forumfoundry.com/forums/images/smilies/headbang.gif . I remember two years ago watching Ryan find his first Morgan http://tnet.forumfoundry.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif. It was hard to hunt after that I was almost unable to focus on the hunt do to being so happy . After all that I did manage one more good old coin , a 1904 V nickel . It's been awhile since I found one .
When I got home and started cleaning my finds I had one more item in my pouch that I couldn't identify till I cleaned it . It turned out to have writing on it that says , GGIE WORLDS FAIR 1940 S.F. CAL. . It's my first Golden Gate International Exposition find . Maybe a lid to something ? http://tnet.forumfoundry.com/forums/images/smilies/icon_scratch.gif
All I can say is it was one great hunt ! http://tnet.forumfoundry.com/forums/images/smilies/icon_thumright.gif

That is a sweet one! I'd be on cloud nine for about 3 days after a find like that. Then the endorphins would wear off and I'd be out looking for my next fix. :detecting: Congrats!!

Man, seeing finds like that makes me feel so good for you and also makes me itchy to get back out there. We've had 2" of rain in the past 12 hrs and still coming down, sigh!

I'm glad it's dry here in San Jose for hunting but man do we need the rain this year !

Boy you can say that again Glen!! Aside from the rain we really need a few good storms with large swells to move some sand out!!

[KCFindIt]

Well the rain finally stopped, which means the ground will be EASY to dig tomorrow. Can't wait.
