That's ok puppy-mud. What you don't get in silver coin counts, you make up in creative writing skills
I think it was 6 at a beach.
Per forum rules : Tom has to pay us 30% of his silver coins, we take checks and paypal Tom.
metal addict: My check is in the mail to you !
I remember you getting 6 or 7 one day with me. Remember that silver spill that was so deep I had to help you scoop it out? You gave me a silver Washington for helping.
That was a long time ago. When you gonna be back in this area again ?
Of late........my best was 12 silvers and 7 gold, I think the most silver coins for me since 2008 would be around 15 in a hunt..
7 gold is my best for gold rings in a day. And only did that 1x. I've had several 3 gold ring days, but.... for some reason, gold rings don't like me. I gave up and prefer the old silver . I dunno why, since beach silver is "toast" anyhow. Doh!
My most is 12 from parks which I did twice. Never found a silver coin on the beach.
Jam-flicker, you've conquered the world in your turf skills down there. Now if you guys could just get some serious erosion on your beaches, you'd probably easily make the transition to beach erosion. How close do you live to the beaches down there ?
Back in the mid 70's I remember finding $35 in coins in the wet sand after a monster storm and half of it was silver. ...
That might have been the winter storms of 1977. Although I had a detector then (high school), and lived only 30 min. from the beach, yet I didn't know anything about beach or erosion hunting. Was strictly into school yards at the time. But about 1980, I met some md'r guys from Monterey and Carmel area. And even then , they were STILL talking about an epic 1977 event, where Carmel beach had serious erosion. They described it as silver as fast as you could dig. One guy recalled one of those days where he had something like 15 gold rings in a day. And we're talking about machines like old school Garrets, Compass 77b's or relic magnums, etc.... I bet they were doing good get 3" depth on the wet salt ! But that was all they needed. They said they were sometimes just walking along eye- balling silver coin disks sitting right on top of the sand. Sickening, eh ?
