Silver trio puts me over 100 for the year!

Full Metal Digger

Howdy diggers,

I met up with Brian (wxdirt), my local hunting partner, and we hit a 100-year old park at first light. 34 degrees and frost on the ground. I was pretty cold until the sun came up! We spent two hours hunting around the old ballfield and I was lucky to pull 3 silvers and 3 wheaties (plus some clad).

I had been there about 30 minutes and was surprised to be pulling memorial cents at 6 inches deep. To make it worse, they were ringing up as 12-45's on my e-trac! I got a 09-43 signal at 7 inches and thought it was a wheat penny. It turned out to be a very worn 1918 Mercury dime! Woo-hoo, number 100 for the year!

While we were driving to the park, Brian had asked me to call him over when I got my 100th so he could see it come out of the ground. When I found the merc, I called him over. He surprised me with some silly string and popped a confetti bomb to celebrate! I got it all on video so you will get to see it later this weekend.

Now, my new goal is to get 125 silvers this year! Here's some pics of today's keepers as well as a group photo. Thanks for looking and HH, Dave.

You are tearing it up DD. I love seeing that silver in the bottom of the hole. What program are you running on you e-trac?

I'm running the factory coin mode with the upper right corner opened up.
