Unbelievable silver totals :shock:

The time, the efforts and the passion. You are driven by some higher force. Congrats Dan on some fabulous rewarding adventures. Your big Wheat day almost matches my seasons count. An amazing amount of Silver Coins. Sterling and the addition of Gold. I hope this high remains for a very long time. Jack

Nice finds Dan. Looks like the beach and turf are no match for you. All you need now is to find some plat and the cycle of precious metals is complete (unless you found a plat ring and I missed it this year).

Great job on the recoveries. Even though we do not typically detect together anymore, you have always kept the passion for the hobby high and I can really respect that.

As always, keep up the good work.

Greg

Thanks, Greg! No plat this year for me so far.. I found a small plat heart pendant with diamonds a year or two ago. That's a really difficult metal to find, at least for me. Your recent post reminded me of the day you dug 18 or so silvers and I had 31. That will always be an unforgettable moment in each of our detecting lives.

Dan, you've been killing it since you got that Morgan. Congrats on the piles of goodies. It's been fun seeing your finds after each hunt and now that little league is over hopefully we can do more detecting together. What is your silver ratio from the beach and turf so far this year?

Thanks, Jason! Yeah, I'm sure we'll be hunting quite a bit in the coming months. Since I found 3 silver yesterday at the beach, that puts me at 357....104 have been from the beach; 253 from turf so far this year.

What can I say...??!!?

Thanks, Ron! :thumbsup:

LI Tom said:
Great hunts Dan!How are you cleaning that beach sliver to look so good?

Thanks, Tom! The only coins that were cleaned in my photo above were two war nickels I found at the beach....those nickels looked like black cookie coins coming out of the sand. Lemon juice restores them to new. The rest of the silver has been untouched...just washed the sand or dirt off of them....they have beautiful patina. I have found my fair share of purple/black, toasted silver from the beach that have been tumbling in the sand/salt water for many years.

Jeeezzz man, unreal how you are on the goods... Keep it up!

Thanks, Zee! Keep the great finds coming yourself...I love seeing all those oldies!! :yes:

Unbelievable silver totals

You must be the only person within 50 miles with a detector....

Thanks, BKM. There's no lack of hunters in S. Cal...I will assure you of that. :yes:

And we all hunt the same parks and beaches......there's just a LOT that has been lost out here...the 40's-50's were booming/growing times here in LA and surrounding counties....lots of parks were created and homes were built.....and many people lost quite a few coins out of their pockets! :lol:

Thanks for the kind words and accolades, Jack! :thumbsup:

I would love some higher force to help out with my pain and stiffness too. :lol:

It hurts so good! I'm looking at my hands right now, and noticed my callouses are deforming my fingers... :shock:

It's like those boxers that have cauliflower ears..... :laughing:
