Still Riding The Silver Express!! 34 More This Week!

[Raphis]

Hello My Friends!

My silver digging frenzy this year is still going strong. As each week passes by, I keep saying to myself, "It's going to slow down", but so far it hasn't. I had some very productive hunts this week in the turf, along with a couple of firsts. The highlight of the week has to be my 13 silver day (with only 7 wheat pennies) from a spot that has been pounded into submission by one of my buddies over the years. With all the gopher action in this spot coupled with the noisiest ground I've ever hunted at (iron, black sand, EMI, you name it), I will never forget this hunt that produced my first ever 4 Silver quarter day, along with a dime trifecta, and my first ever South African 3 pence (1932). My buddies, Greg(GStout76) and Brett(Thatsit) were hunting with me. I think we were all jaded from the noise after that hunt. I know I was, but that's a good reason why those coins were still hiding there, just waiting to be found. My other hunts this week with Curt(Bibleman) and Mike(Dana Point) were productive also. On one of those hunts, I ended up finding two pieces of the same silver Rosie. That's something I've only been able to accomplish a small handful of times. The two pieces were about 8 ft apart from each other. All of the items in the pics were found with my Explorer SE with the Pro Coil. I picked up a set of Killer B headphones also, and prefer these to my old Grey Ghosts. The sounds/tones are just sharper with the Killer B's. The only problem I'm having with them is that the bees are actually running into my headphones. I think they are attracted to the large, yellow colored bee on the side of the phones. The sound of a bee hitting the side of the phones is amplified when you're wearing them. It's happened numerous times in the past couple of weeks. I guess I'll have to get used to it.

This week's finds brings my silver coin count for the year to 282, which is around a 20 silver/week average. I'd be ecstatic if I could keep this pace a little longer, but I'm prepared for the drought, as it goes for a silver coin hunter!

Thanks for looking!
Keep The Passion High!
