7 Silvers at the park brings me to 99 for the year!

[Full Metal Digger]

Howdy diggers,

I thought I'd revisit an older park that I had hunted a couple times with my ACE 250. The e-trac did not disappoint! I snagged over 100 coins including 10 wheat pennies, 1 buffalo nickel, and 7 silver dimes. Two of the dimes were Barbers and they were in the same hole tied together with a piece of half-rotted string! Not sure if it was a kid's bracelet or what. The park is quite large at 14 acres and I can see myself going back many more times. There was a ton of canslaw so I pretty much ignored nickel signals. I did however, get a solid 12-13 at 5 inches which turned out to be a real nice 1937 Buffalo. Today's silver put me at 99 for the year and I tried so hard to get that 100th but then I realized I should just slow down and relax. It will come when it comes (but I hope its a half dollar!). Here's some pics. Thanks for looking. Best wishes and HH, Dave.

Seven silvers in one day is remarkable, Dave! That had to be really fun, seeing those silver coins in that rich black soil! Great detail on that Buffalo too! I also like the Infantry(?) badge!

By the way, I went back to Hess Park on Sunday and found another Merc, a Rosie, and some wheaties. I'm saving Garfield Park for when we can hunt it together though.

Nice digs and I hope that your 100th silver is something special! thumbsup01

Oh Man Dave that is a super cool find!! :cool: :cool: |:confused:)
A barber dime find is cool. :cool:
Two Barber dimes in one hole is even way cooler. :cool: thumbsup01 :cool:
But! :shocked03: To have two Barber dimes in the same hole together!! :shocked04:....Still tied together!! :shocked04:stretcher: With the ancient rope still intact!! :omg:
That's one of the coolest finds I've seen!!
Can you tell? Are thy both 1910's Or is the other one a 191? lol

I tried in front of the school again and didn't find much, just a couple of wheats. There was a strip along the west edge of the tennis courts where I found several wheat cents and the Rosie. The Merc was by a tree near that back parking lot where we parked the first time. I hunted that area pretty hard but didn't find any other old coins.

Way to go. 7 Silvers, WOW! Congrats. Looking for that half myself, one day!

[DennisH]

Those two Barber's are beyond cool, they are worth a display case all by them selves!!! 99 silver going on a hundred is a awsome year, (I just hit 100 myself) 7 in one hunt will get you beyond 100 super fast. WTG

[MinelabIowa]

Super great hunt! Loved the video. Very nice finds 1

[Viking]

Awesome finds. You're really becoming an elite metal detector. We had Ace 250's at the same time, and went to E-tracs at about the same time, so it's been fun to watch your progress. 99 silvers is impressive, and I can certainly appreciate the effort it took! :perfect10:

[aloldstuff]

A great hunt in our old park with new(er) equipment. You will reach 100 silvers I have no doubt. When you can pull 7 in one outing, like I said, I have no doubt. Congrats on a great hunt

:clapping: The Barbers on the string are way cool! I bet you already got to 100 today :)
