I've been on a bit of a silver drought lately. Mostly because of work and having to run my mother to cancer treatments when I'm not working.
This past weekend, I went on a metal detecting road trip. I had the opportunity to hunt a large permission in Cashtown, PA with Civil War history on Friday. Saturday, I went down to Maryland to hunt with some of the Hoover Boys. Sunday, I was back in PA near my old hometown of Middletown to hunt a family friend's farm that used to be a tannery in the 1800s. My road trip didn't net me any amazing finds and it was rife with speed bumps from the get go! That whole adventure can be told in another thread...
In an effort to snap out of my silver slump, I decided to hit my local trashy park located in a bad part of town. This place has become my new honey hole and is usually good for at least one silver each hunt. This evening did not disappoint. I proceeded to hunt an area that I had been avoiding because it was loaded with trashy signals and would make my Etrac go nuts even with a trashy park pattern. I decided to try the Nox with a very tight coin pattern and it dealt with the trash nicely. I found all of this on a quick 2 hour and 45 minute hunt. 9 silvers in one hunt is my second best hunt this year and of all time. Thanks for looking!
