Default Got My First Silver Coin Ever Hunting A Snow Hill



Got up early for some hunts on the slopes. There was a bitter wind from the north giving wind chills to about -17C.



Just as there are hot spots when water hunting and land hunting, hunting slopes have their hot spots too.



I guess because silver coins have been out of circulation for so many years, people don't recognize one when they get one in change. I guess this was the case on the hill. A very rare find indeed. :thumbs



Here's the totals. It looks similar to what I would find in a days water hunt.

It wasn't my first silver coin so to speak, just my first silver coin found in the snow. The snow is always just giving up recent clad coin drops.

Gotcha! I need to read and comprehend a little better, but my excuse is I woke up about 45 minutes before I posted and no coffee at the time
