    Found a little silver this weekend

    Got yesterday and hunted two schools that were in very nice neighborhoods . I was hoping for some gold and silver but only silver was found in the last 10 minutes of a 3 1/2 hour hunt ! After digging clad coins all day I thought I would go home empty handed . I had a very weak sounding high tone at 6-7 inches . Finally some silver , very tiny silver . It was an old sterling silver screw back ear ring . It has STERLING marked on the end . Then 5 minutes later I had a +20 at 4 inches , nickel ? Not this time . It was a complete 925 silver chain , a small links type . Other finds were a 1994 Kennedy half and a coin from Barbados . Total clad was $10.46 .

    Nice work Glen. That's a nice chain. Were you able to get it out in one piece?

    If I have hunted a school for about 20 times I will hold off on it for a good 12 to 16 months . Some times It will be like hunting it new all over again !
