I had made plans to meet up with John (midas) Saturday at a new site I had recently added to my list, but Friday night I called him to cancel. We agreed that he should still go, and he did. Then at about 11:30 this morning he calls me from the site to tell me he had picked up two silver coins, a merc and a 1876 Seated quarter. After a bit of prodding he convinced me to make the over one hour trip to the site. Well, I just couldn't refuse.

I arrived at the site after 1:00, and by then John had added another merc to his count. I couldn't wait to get started myself. We worked the site for two hours, and by then I had in my pouch 8 silver coins. We took a break to have something to eat, after which we again tackled the field we had been working. Long story short, when it was time to leave I had in my pouch 14 silver coins.... or so I thought. Once home I counted 13, so I either miscounted or lost one of the dimes while placing it in my pouch. :thinkingabout:

The following are from a few other recent hunts - 1895 Barber quarter, two Indian Head cents (one is a fatty), a Walking Liberty Half, a Barber dime, a large cent. The last photo is of a few wheat and Indian Head cents, a 1907 Barber dime, a 1884 seated dime, and a sterling silver cufflink.

Awesome as usual!! If I ever got into double digit silvers in an afternoon hunt,I'd probably need some tranquilizers much less keeping track of the count lol

lol You gotta leave some for seed. Right? lol

Like Tony said, just one of those hunts would constitute for a years worth, or more, of hunting for most :envious:
