Pretty late in making this post. I had hoped I'd get in several outing an have a bit more to show. Alas the weather has put some extreme limits to doing any digging since. This hunt took place the first Sunday of the month as as of yet it is the only hunt for me in 2019. The high point is it was shared with Air Force Mike, Dewsweeper and his son Bret. Any further and future reference to this very capable young detectionist will be as "Hollywood". We meet up at the same site Mike and I hunted to finish 2018. We had had some nice success and covered only about a third of this small park. We thought it might hold more. The four of us put in the efforts in covering these grounds but the wanted returns were just not there. Hollywood dug a loan Indian and I got a Silver GW for the only keepers on this cold breezy day. Still it was great to start the year with these guys and the hope of some warmer temps so we all can do this again. In a couple of side notes, I started 2018 in a hunt with Dew's and dug a GW to start last year also. The other my first hunt of 2019 put me 50 days ahead of last years start. Until the next.

Congrats on number one silver of '19! Now all you have to find are 410 more pieces of silver coins to beat last year's record. I am sure when the weather permits, your silver finds will be rolling in....and rightfully so. Now all we need is warm weather and ground conditions, but until then it is more like hibernation time, at least for me.
 
Congrats on the silver Washington, and silver #1 for the year Trapper!!! I'm still waiting to get my coil over my first silver coin of the year. Toad on the other hand is just killing it. I feel like it's a win if at least one of us leave a hunt with silver though.
 
Glad to see you starting earlier this year and congrats on the GW. Good luck again this year. By the way, I dug a walker for my first of the year. Let's hope it means a good year for each of us.

Appreciate your reply Travis. I know that feeling as Air Force Mike and I go back over five years and we have had a streak since hunt one that ether one or both have dug Silver in every hunt. We have come close a couple of times but the day has been made with last moment digs. Trapper

Thanks Jason and I hope you are right about 2019. But I do not think I will commit to the efforts I made last year. Trapper

Thank you Trap. It is always a good feeling to the first Silver of the year. Although I am getting a little impatient to get out for the next. Trapper
 
Congrats on a nice fat silver quarter for your first of the year! Are you trying for a better count this year or just not worried about the count and enjoying the hunt? ....or both:lol:
 
Congratulations on the early silver Trapper. One question . What rig sniffed out the GW?? I'm sure i know which one but just wanted to be a 100 percent.
 
Hey, middle of January, in Wisconsin, you got a really early start. A GW quarter is a fine coin to start with, too! So, let's see...at this rate; one silver per half a month...comes out to about 2 dozens silvers for the year.? I think my math is off a bit somewhere. :laughing:
It's all frozen up here...I just tried digging under some leaves with a shovel yesterday. Solid. All my known detecting spots are exposed ground...rock solid.
 
Yup 👍. on the board buddy.
Hope you and Mike got out today or hopefully tomorrow.

Half way threw January and your posting silver .
As modest as a George washing can be it's an outstanding find .
Hollywood 😎.
I told him i think it's going to stick lol

A nice fantasy Paul but highly unlikely. But I promise I'll take what ever the detecting gods gives me. Trapper

Way to go! You’ll be at 500 before you know it

Appreciate your reply and the faith Vic. Somehow I don't think 500 for me will ever come into play. After last year I need to find a awful lot of new sites to hunt. Trapper

Thank you Scott. I will not set a goal this year with the exception that Silver will be the the target of every hunt. I don't remember a lot of hunt that I didn't enjoy since I started in this hobby. But teaming with these friends of mine have very much enriched the experience in every adventure for me. Trapper
 
Glad to see you got out and are on the board already.

450 this year,

I missed that weekend as I was at a convention, and it got cold just as I got back, so in other words it's my fault. Lol

Appreciate the reply mike. Think yo will be surprise that I had the "Nov" out on that day. The first time we hunted that park we used the 3030's but found a real trashy area that we thought the "Nox" wold excel in. But if it ain't there your not going to dig it. Trapper

I like you numbers Blaise, no pressure to perform. Did not dig my first Silver last year until February 25th (a GW). This was dug on the first Sunday in January So by that timetable I'm ahead of last year. Trapper
