One at a time

I try every day to make those 10 or more silver finds that some people <cough-angel-cough> seem to make as a routine. Sadly, I usually don't find any. But today, I managed to pull one more silver from the ground!!! I had the foresight to bring the camera along. As soon as I saw that rim, I stopped and got the camera .

The first pic is the first of it I saw.

Next, I pulled the dirt apart, but it still didn't show any detail. At least it wasn't stained.

I cleaned it with a bit of water to see exactly what I had found

This is the hole it was hiding in. Almost 6 inches deep to the coin, I had to go just under it to pull it out. I love that Treasure Wise scoop. Tough as can be, and that scale lets me see exactly how deep my target was.


It's funny because I had been at this site for a while and was getting frustrated. As I kneeled down to start digging I said to myself If this is silver, I'm staying longer. Otherwise I'm outta here. It was a perfect dime reading, but I had dug many memorials and clads with the same numbers so far.

This was my second site to hunt today. I left the first one after an hour and a half becuase there were too many coins. Yes, you read that right... too many coins. It was like someone had taken handfulls of pennies and thrown them everywhere. I couldn't even pinpoint with my coil. I just sat down and used my Sun-Ray probe, since they were all just under the surface. After a while I gave up digging all those cents. Maybe one day if I am bored I will go back and clean the surface coins away so I can try to find the old ones hiding there.


PS, how can I post pics in the body of the message instead of all at the end like it wants to do automatically?

good find and nice pics.

Congrats Jason! :clapping:

It is quite a rush catching that first glimpse of silver in the hole/clump.... I love it.

Thanks for taking us along... almost as fun as digging one myself.

nice silver! love seeing it in the hole! thumbsup01

Love it!! Good hunt. thumbsup01

Nothing wrong with doing it one at a time friend. That's how most of my silver comes in. Congratulations on a nice Rosie. That is a terrific photo! Thanks for sharing your find.

My silver comes in little spurts. Couple here, couple there and then NONE for a while lol I'll take them one at a time anyday. Nice to see the raw silve still in the hole. That is the rush that keeps us digging. If I were you I would dig as many clads and pennies as I could and then walk over to the coinshop and buy yourself some worn silver lol That's the other way to get them rofl

Nice going , we all can't be :angelic:'s .

Sometimes it's just more fun to be 's

Sometimes it almost seems like this forum has a lot of show offs. :teasing: But when I look more clearly at it maybe im just a bit jealous im not the one showing off my multiple silver finds. One day! To all of you out there keep up the great work.
