    Spent the morning on my knees,,, silver# 2

    Nobody can say I didn't earn this Rosie,,,, I dug a bunch of holes this morning. I went back to my co-workers house where I found my first silver, and slowed down a bit and used headphones. I was rewarded with a 1960 Rosie,, 6 Wheat Cents and $2.15 in clad. After a while, I quit digging anything under 2 inches in order to avoid a small fortune in clad. I also found a few trinkets. The stability padlock,, a monopoly shoe game piece and a cool Chevy 4X4 dated 1977. The spoon was plated,,, and a decent pile of pure trash. My knees hurt now,,, but it was a good morning.

    Yessir,,, I added knee pads and a box of Goody Powders to the kit a while back. It's a real bad day if I forgot my knee pads.

    There's gotta be more silver in the ground. You must be digging everything you hear. Sometimes that's the only way to find the good stuff.....
