Had seven hunts over the last couple of weeks. Two were skunks but did manage to add some silver in the rest. The best hunt was the last one with Air Force Mike. We went to a park near his home that has some history. This site has been hunted hard by many others over the years. The first couple of hours went very uneventful with me digging a Wheat and a little clad. It was decided we would go to another location and we started working back to the vehicles. Then lightning struck. Mike got hit first as he pulled a 30's Walker from the deep. My turn was in less than 5 minutes as Big Ben showed from 7 inches down. I barely got my plug in and Mike says he had another great signal. I walked over to run my machine over the signal. A solid 12-46/47 on the CTX at 8 inches, we both were thinking another Half Dollar. He wasn't 8 feet from his Walker plug. Well it was not a Half Dollar but a Silver George Washington was his reward. At that point we decided we were staying put. Well we worked this area hard for another 2 hours. I pulled a Rosie and Mike added 4 Wheat's. All the finds were within a 50 by 50 foot span with nothing at all in the grounds outside that area. The other four hunts provided me with 7 more Silvers. Three Silver Dimes came from a permission. The count now stands at 94 FTY. I hope the next report will have me over the century mark. Until then on to the next. Trapper
