    I got the Holy Grail

    Now that you are here please continue reading.

    It's been about 2 weeks since our last outing and today wasn't that bad. Between Rob and I we pulled another 7 silvers from the park.

    Rob is on a quest to reach 100 silvers. Today he got 4 closer and he now only needs 4 more. He got some great silvers today and I hope he posts them up for everybody to enjoy.

    When we got to the park I started right near the entance and my 2nd dig was the 1935 merc. The next signal was the Holy Grail but you'll see that later. Right in that same area I got the 1952 rosie. Started just walking around and my last section that I hit gave up the 1920 merc, which I hope the picture does it justice cause it looks like it was dropped the day it was minted. About 15 feet from that merc I got the sterling ring, marked 925.
    Had just a couple of wheats for the day but anyday that I can get more silver than wheats is a good day.

    The Holy Grail will be in the last picture. I figured out Harrison Ford's problem, he didn't have a metal detector...... lol

    Re: I got the Holy Grail

    I don't know how I missed your post Al I was wondering why you hadn't posted yet.....

    The pic does not do the 1920 Merc any justice though...she is perfect

    I think you should post another pic of the grail with a dime to show exactly what the size is, as it's hard to tell from the pic....take a pic with a dime


    I think you have a holy grail that your looking for too....a Buffalo Nickel

    Nice silver finds. Is that holy grail metal? It looks like its a clay goblet. Rob should be able to get 4 silvers more, if the ground doesn't freeze.
