This past spring I set a goal to beat my last years silver coins count. Last year I got 25 silver and today I got my 25 and 26 for the year. I also did it without hitting any parks or public places (only private property with permissions of course) I was getting a little nervous due to my detecting is slowing down fast getting into hockey season and all.
Today I pulled out a 1934 Quarter and 1926 mercury. And a good luck token.

Congrats on hitting your goal! I've found that metal detecting is a very goal oriented hobby, whether it is to find more silver, find older coins, or to find a bucket list item. It always feels good to meet one of those goals.
The good luck token is neat too. I often use an SOS pad to remove the worst of the corrosion from aluminum tokens. How far away are you from Robbinston, Maine?

Man way to go. My previous best silver total was 25 as well and this year as of yesterday I hit 60! Mostly at private property hunts like you have been doing. i feel it is the best way to go. Hope you beat that number next year!
