First silver of the year plus more

cellrdwellr · Jan 5, 2017

Hey everyone hope all is well and everyone had safe and happy holidays! Had a few hours to hunt on New Year's Eve and added one silver coin and one silver ring to the 2016 totals. 2017 started pretty good, I ended up with 2 silvers, 4 wheats, and 5 injuns. Also a 16 gauge headstamp, a children's choir pin, and a fired Musketball. It was in the upper 30's when I got out there. Within two hours it was snowing and windy, and I had not brought my gloves so after 3 hours I had enough. Temps will be very chilly for awhile so I'm not sure how much hunting will be done but I'll get cabin fever within hours so I'll probably just dress for the occasion. Thanks for looking and happy hunting!

Congrats Jeff on a great finish to "16" and a very shiny start to the new year. You already have almost my complete Indian take from last year in one outing. Good luck in "17". Jack

Thanks Jack! As you know December/January silvers are not easily obtained up east, glad to still have some open ground.

Congrats!

I still think you are crazy for being out there in the cold with a pick axe to break through the ground, but, as they say, to each their own

Where did he say he was using a pick axe?

Jamflicker · Jan 5, 2017

Way to brave the elements and find some nice stuff out there. Congrats on the finds buddy!

I really like that Children's Choir pin. That's the kind of thing that may have meant a great deal to whom it belonged,though it may seem trivial to us.
It's really amazing how dark those coins can get too,I've never pulled a silver that didn't look "silver". Were these coins in a really wet environment?
Hell of a start...

No pick axe needed the lesche cuts through no problem, now the snow is gone so I'm getting a tad bit more depth so I'm finding some stuff that was missed in the first hunt. Looking forward to 2017 I'm sure you will be there with me most of the time.

I appreciate your reply IDX! These coins have had leaves falling on them for years, could be the reason why they look that way?!?! They look gold in person.. it was very moist there for sure but not a bog or swamp.thanks for looking!

Wow the year just started and your killing it already, Awesome hunting Jeff!
Congrats on the finds! 2017 is going to be a great year!

Nuggetslayer · Jan 5, 2017

Had me going, I looked at the pics first, and looked like gold coins. I'm guess it was the lighting that made them look that way. Great job on those coins!

Digger-Dave · Jan 5, 2017

Man, you're off with a bang!! :cool:

Keep up the good work!! :yes:

That Mercury had a gold tint to it and made my heart skip a beat!

Sweet! Congrats on keeping in shape even in this cold weather! I wished I had your fortitude!
