    97,98,99,100 silver finish with 2 washington's

    Been creeping up on 100 silver over the last several weeks and managed to finish it off today with 4 silver. Made plans to hit a new park but some Little leaguers put those plans on hold. decided to hit option "B" and it turned out to be a good thing. I hit the park where I found a cluster of silver (11 Total) but really did not hit a lot of the rest of the area. I went to a completely different area and found a silver nickel right a way so had some motivation to hunt the area. Ended up finding 7 wheats and a worn '25 Merc. The area played out so I went back to the area I hit the silvers previously and caught 2 really tight 12-46/47's and both turned out to be Washingtons. Great finish to the 100 mark. Don't have many plans for the next couple of weeks so we'll see what comes up. Keep digging Wisconsin Digger

    Nice bit of silver. My ratio for clad to silver isn't like the pic shows. And it's not cuz the age of the sites I hit ...it's because the silver be taken already and newer clad be dropped since.
