Default Tri State Hunters Inc Spring Group Hunt. Pic Heavy Live Silver Dig on Video!!

So about thirty people showed up for our second group hunt. The first one had six of us there. This was definitely a Rockin success. A huge thanks goes out to Andrew at New England Detectors for sponsoring this event. I had a good day myself, Anthony1207 had a great day with a Barber Half. I know ther were a few more silvers found. Randy had a Barber Dime, I know a seated Dime was dug too. My self I had a couple Barbers. I will start my own thread too. We raffled off oa few prizes including a Tesoro Compadre. A portion of the raffle will goto Beefcake's Clad for Kids program. We are happy to donate $100 to his charity. All in all it was a great day with great people. Thank you to everyone who showed up. It was truly a pleasure to meet all of you. Please post your finds on this thread with a pic if you can. Thanks for looking all and HH!!!

Thanks for the pictures, it looks like the Tri State Hunters Inc had a great time out there today, what great looking bunch of folks. Nice going with helping out Beefcakes, Clad4Kids and giving away some great prizes! Not only are you donating to one of my favorite charities, you spent the day out digging it with friends.

Default Great Job Sean

Sean you did a great job organizing the event. It was a lot of fun and great to see familiar and new faces at these group hunts. I can't wait for the next one. Here was my best find of the day:

Found it in the outfield between the ball fields. Only 3 inches deep. I think it's a 1917.

Great hunt Sean, and thanks to New England Detectors for sponsoring. I got to see some new faces and some old silver, and that is always fun.

Too bad there wasn't a prize for the ugliest silver coin dug, as I certainly would have won. The oddest thing about that hunt was that I dug exactly one clad coin in all that time, a half eaten zincoln.

Had a great time. Won a Buffalo tribute coin. Needed the detector though ;( lol Thank you for letting me use your ATP Sean. My totals for the day were 11 memorial pennies, 1 wheat penny, 3 dimes, 3 blank colt .45 shells and a small knob of some sort. I'll post pics today. Once again thank you.

Thanks Randy I appreciate it. I know one silver isn't great for you but at least it's an oldie. Lol
