George watched me one day like I was nuts, I just dug a deep hole in the overburden until I hit hardpan...then scooped outwards in whatever direction, filling in behind me as I went and scanning to see what turned up...he watched me find silver that day, and on another hunt I dug a Trime doing this
So today I chose a beach and a spot and began to dig, a one silver test hunt to see how far down the hardpan was here, was it a viable spot...and to kill however long it took to find that silver...42 minutes to be exact 
all the finds
...part of a lipstick tube, several bullets, other scrap, 49 cents in clad, 2 wheats, a Buffalo
a 1913 Type 1 with the raised mound...
and the silver, a Merc for #45...
Be nice to borrow a bulldozer for a hour, I could probably come up with a handful of silvers moving the sand around
But I'm always happy with even a single silver on a hunt, regardless of the effort it takes to get it, means the day was a success...and they add up by the end of the year
Until the next outing, thanks for the looks and Happy Hunting!
