    Finally back to back multiple silver hunts and a couple nice Tokens

    It has been a bit challenging the last 3 weeks but Friday and today picked up the mood a bit. Friday I hit a park I wanted to revisit after I had some luck on a few older Wheaties. Things were not going to well when I dug a marginal signal that turned out to be a Merc. With my mood improved I hunted the area for 30 minutes and managed to find another Merc a heavily worn Buffalo and a hand full of Wheats. Ground was bone dry so I'll hit it again after we get some rain. Today I hunted a farmhouse I got permission to hunt on Thursday. Was hitting some nice old Wheaties ('14,'26,'29) but could not find any silver. Wandered around a bit when I hit a little area that gave up 2 Merc's and a Rosie. Went back to the wheatie spot and hunted in a different direction and got a nice deep 20 "s" Merc. Last photo was a summary of the last 3 weeks . Threw in a picture of a couple of nice tokens I found as well today. Taking a rode trip tomorrow and hope to keep the silver run going. Wisconsin Digger

    Nice scoff. That soap token is an odd ball and nice find also. Good luck on the next outing!

    Very nice amount of silver, reaching back to the Barber period too. Love the condition of the cents and nickels. We rarely get them that nice around my neck of the woods. Good luck on your next road trip!
