EPIC 5 Hour Hunt Today / 9 Silver day ( Seated, Barbers , Walkers, Indians )

[Digger Don]

I met up with Noah today to hunt a town that I've never hunted before. We didn't start swinging until noon. We got a yes at the first house we tried. In the first 20 minutes, I dug a 1903 Barber dime and an Indian spill, an 1894 & 1883. I also dug an old button with a flower design.
After that, I moved to the side of the house and my first target was an 1891 Seated dime.
Man, It can't get any better than this. Wrong!
I moved to the back of the house and dug another 1903 Barber dime. A few minutes later I got a deep high tone that was jumping all over the place 12-41 up to 12-48. I had a hard time pinpointing it due to a bunch of iron in the ground. I finaly got to it about 9 inches down and under a root. A 1902 Barber Half. A few minutes later I get another Indian spill, a 1903 & 1906.
We hit another house across and I dug a 1924 Merc.

On the way home we stopped at one more house in the next town. ( I really wanted to dig a Rosie for my first ever dime grand slam). My first target was a 1939 merc. My second target was a bouncy 12-48. I turned over the plug an there was Walker sitting there, Awesome!! ( It gets better ) I reswept the hole and I still have a high tone. I pull out ANOTHER Walker and a 1945-S war nickel.
I only dug 2 clad Quarters, one Jefferson and 3 memorials all day. ( and a bunch of junk)

you killed it today Don! so glad I was there to witness it!

[Digger_O'Dell]

Holy cow Don, what a way to kill it! That seated is beautiful, as is the Barber half. All that silver and a tribe of Indians to boot....incredible! :perfect10:

Sorry about your lousy day, Don. Better luck next time! :bummer:

:lol:


No, seriously. INCREDIBLE hunt! I'm not sure which is my favorite, the Seated Dime or the Barber Half.

The Seated Dime was brand new when it was dropped. It has amazing detail left on it! It even has the ridges around the edge of the rims which it always the first thing to wear off. It is the less common "O" mint mark variety too. I wouldn't be surprised if it's MS-60 which would put it in the $175 range value-wise.

The two Walkers and War Nickel is a wonderful coin spill! What a thrilling day this must have been for you!

Congratulations Don on one of your best days ever! I must say I'm a bit jealous too! I don't remember anyone getting 3 halves in one day either. Thanks for sharing and HH Dave.

Sorry about your lousy day, Don. Better luck next time! :bummer::hystericallaugh:
After those great finds in short order, why did you move on to the next house? Was there no more land? You are the door knocking king!! :notworthy::notworthy:

[Noah]

good. We probably should’ve stayed a little longer at that house! But then again, Don would not have gotten the half dollars bill if we had stayed. But anyways we will be going back for sure. Again Don you the man! next time save me at least one silver. :thumbsup02:

Now that's a great day! Good for you! :beerbuddy:

You matched my exact season total on silver halves in one hunt. That indeed was an epic hunt and hope there is a video to follow. Thx for the post Don WD

[Bucknut]

Darn Don! 3 silver halves! I dig a pretty good amount of silver and I have not dug a silver half since 2015! You find them like I find wheaties!

I think the best find is that 1891 seated with the New Orleans mint mark. Very awesome!

Hope you find a couple more Indians before hibernation.

[BTV Digger]

What a disappointment Don - no Rosie? :lol: Wow! Just an incredible day for you and one you wont forget. You consistently post great finds, but this hunt has to rank up there with your best ever. Congrats sir.
p.s. can't wait to see the video edits

I might have forgotten to mention the 12 wheaties!!
Thanks everyone for the nice and not so nice comments. LOL

Truly a day I won't soon forget!!!!

[Noah]

I wish you and I had videoed it!

[Ill Digger]

I don't know Dave.
The price of silver is dropping I see.


:lol:
Great day Don!
Congrats! :grin:

[Full Metal Digger]

Dang Don, I keep coming back to look at this post! I just love all the finds but especially the button. That's all your fault too since I wasn't a button man until I met you! LOL. I bet when I get back in 3 years we'll go detecting and it will be just like I was never even gone!
