The enclosed picture is from 2 separate hunts that I did to "kick off the new year" (16 and 17 January). I purchased a M8 Coil for my Manticore and wanted to hunt areas that I had already hunted for the first hunt. During that hunt (16 Jan) I went to a house that we have hit numerous times (4x+) and the first good target was an IHP spill...the 1908S and 1901 Indian Head pennies were stacked in the hole! Cool, went on to find a 1910S Wheat and other older wheats. Plus I found the 3.8 gram Sterling earring at the tail end of the hunt. Mind you, to create a baseline I hunted areas that we have POUNDED in the past....
Today (17 Jan) I hunted in an area that we have been to before, but I decided to go to a side street that I was not familiar with. In front of a boarded up "drug house" I started to hunt the curb strip and found a couple of Wheaties; good sign, I decided to move into the sidewalk side to the fenced front yard of the drug house and got a beautiful 92 signal....given I hadn't found a silver coin for the new year, I thought it was going to be a clad quarter, but after digging the target I saw the familiar silver rim of a quarter and I was very happy to see the front of a dated SLQ! 1918S SLQ, in great shape....after that I moved back over to the curb strip and got another 91-92 signal (again thinking clad or a Lincoln) but out popped a 1944D Washington! That alone would make my trip worth the while.
Going back to my vehicle I had spied a couple of curb strips that I wanted to hit and right off the bat I got a great 88 signal between the sidewalk and the curb strip, out popped the Sterling silver ring (2.1 grams), about 10 feet later I pulled the 1935D Merc and across the street I pulled the 1943S Merc.
A FIVE silver day is hard to do nowadays.....especially where I hunt! But a double IHP spill, Sterling earring, and the coins/ring for today makes it pretty amazing! 6 in two hunts plus the IHP spill is awesome.
HH and GL all!!
