    Silver trickles in made it to 100

    It has been a weird last month of hunting but I am happy the silver is still showing up. It seems about everywhere I hunt these days I find an early silver coin then nothing the rest of the hunt. Today was a bonus as the only silver was a Barber dime with a Buffalo keeping it company. Anyway have managed to get to 100 silver this year and that was my goal so I'm happy to be finding silver even if it's only 1 at a time. Keep swinging Wisconsin Digger

    WTG on reaching your goal of 100 silvers. I see that rosies are your 50th and 100th. My 1st silver was a rosie but since then mercs have outnumbered them, how about you.

    It really is odd, isn't it? I have discussed this same phenomenon with Daddy Digger and Ill Digger. It seems to happen this way a lot!

    I never have that problem, or worrying about reaching 100 silvers for the year. That is cause I don't find enough silver to set a goal Congrats on 100 beauties. It is strange that what looks like a good day coming ends up fizzling out. But as long as it give you a nice coin, it is worth it!
    Finding relics is in my blood
