    You know it's a good hunt when you lose track of your silver count

    Haven't got out in 2 weeks so made a day of it on Sunday. Thought I ended the day with 8 silver but I actually had 9. A whole bunch of Rosies and 2 Merc's. I also found a toasty Indian, 8 toasty wheats and about $4 in change. Wish I could get more hunts in as September has been great. The leaves are dropping but the silver is popping. Keep swinging Wisconsin Digger

    Wow, pretty high silver count for one time. I know I lose track of the clad I dig at a park and get surprised when I empty the pocket.... but never with silver.
    Future goals: Capped bust coin, Flowing hair LC, Classic head LC, VT copper, MA copper, Pistareen, Two-cent pc, SLQ, GW inaugural button, Excelsior button, Civil war token, and a gold ring.

    It is an unusual spot in that most of the silver (all) is in an area just smaller than half a football field. The signals are tough to pinpoint but anything below 4" is usually good. Lots of 60's memorials so I am guessing early 50's. When I first stopped there it looked like a newer Park but as I started to hunt I noticed old wood post remnants in the ground that indicated the fence was replaced. It is a 3 hour drive so I doubt I will hit it anymore this year but 3 hunts have produced 19 silver (18 dimes). I think it has been hunted as I have found no silver quarters. Look forward to hitting it early next year. Thx WD
