I got out for a good 4 hours today. <: Unfortunately it was tough picking.

My IH spot has dried up, my new spot is pretty stingy and a semi new spot didn't produce. :confused: I guess just one of those days. :blackeye:

Couldn't get one good signal at my IH site. Talked a little with the owner this morning and he mentioned that a couple of guys hunted the yard quite a bit about 10 years ago.... at least they left me 9 IH's, some wheats, a Barber quarter, a Barber dime and a Merc.

My new spot only produced the war nickel, ring, a big tootsie toy and token.... oh yeah, and one 1971 half dollar. :ticked: I figure if you are lucky enough to get a half dollar... it's only fair that it should be silver... right??

The last stop of the day was a yard I hunted once before with only one silver rosie to show. This place produced only some clad.

For as long as I got to hunt today, I figured I might just do a little better.

The up side....... with the war nickel, I'm only one away from my silver goal this year. :happydance01:

Good luck on Sunday everyone.

I really like the car and the ring and the token too lol It was a good hunt and I'm pretty sure the goal will be met thumbsup01 And exceeded too :clapping: Wait for some good soaking rain and hit that Indian site from a different direction. It will give up more.

I do like the wartime silver nickels. They do hold up quite well, and even when stained they clean up nicely. Yours looks to be in very good shape. The site that has yielded the IH's may yet produce more for you. :happydance01:

Bummer on the half :crying02: I bet you were disappointed. What's the story on the ring? Love the car. So what is your silver goal for the year? I see I'm a week late on this post, you've prob already met your goal by now huh? lol
