Just basic math,,,with some conservative reasonable assumptions,,that's all.
Good thing math exists,,,it keeps us all honest.
Time is something that can't be bought or stretched.
The writing,,the scenarios listed,,,,folks should be able to tell,,,digging that much silver,,,rather unlikely in the northeast and Midwest-- weather and frozen ground wouldn't allow.
In the south,,IMO not enough silver even existed really to be lost.
Now,,to be fair,,if we turned the clock back to say year starting in 1964,, and a person had a FBS detector,,and hunted for 30 years--- achievement had a much higher probability of success,,,,due to fewer junk aluminum targets,,,fewer clad coins,,silver coins depth shallower on average,,,and no zincolns.
But my writing wasn't based on the time frame,,,,more like 1985 thru present.
A couple other possibilities for success.
Hunting around 2 or 3 Brinks trucks that crashed say in 1950s or early 60s,,,or to come upon 2 or 3 BIG silver hoards.
Gent who posted never said anything about big hoards or crashed brink trucks though.
