We have been stuck in a pattern of rain for quite a few days and I have tried to get out between showers. Unfortunately I have had four or five really awful hunts with nothing but mosquito bites and a lot of crap to show for it. Today (Sunday) was humid but rain free so I started out by going to a place where I use to fish as a kid but the awful luck seemed to continue. On my way to my backup site, I stopped at a park that I have hunted before and figured I would give it another shot. I don't know if the stars were all aligned but it was for me a pretty good hunt. I came up with 16 quarters, 30 dimes, 96 pennies (2 wheat 1910 and 1945), a token, a silver ring (925) and a silver something (I'm pretty sure it's silver because it was down about 4 or 5 inches and came out clean like a silver coin would and it rang up on the E-trac like silver). Apologies for the quality of the pictures. I didn't have good lighting and I couldn't wait to post.

I may have screamed like a young girl at a Justin Bieber concert when I found this. :embarrassed:
I also want to thank all the people on this site who encouraged me to keep going. I guess I can't whine any more about 19th century silver.

Thanks all.

My one and only 19th century silver, so yes, it's my oldest. :yes:

Thanks all for your very kind comments. The high from finding my first seated hasn't worn off yet. :happydance01:
