    Last 4 hunts found enough silver to hit my goal

    Went into this year with few prospects so set my main goal at reachung 1200 silver in my 7 th year of hunting. Boy it has been a struggle but I finally hit my goal of 73 silver Sunday night to reach 1200. I had my best hunt of the year Saturday with 5 silver. Also took a picture of the last 2 hunts worth of wheaties. The Steer head was a pin of some sort at an old courthouse. Hope to hit 100 silver this year but the hunts have been slim pickens. Sometime this year I should hit 5000 clad quarters so that just about takes care of the Etrac cost. Wisconsin Digger

    1200 silver coins in 7 years is ridiculous! I've been detecting the same period and I have done very well I think but I'm just over 700 in 7 years. You must have some great spots and really know your Etrac. Congrats!
    Detectors I use: Minelab Equinox 900 & Manticore
    Favorite finds I have made:
    1,000+ silver coins
    92pcs of 1700's Trade Era Silver
    Copper Culture Indian Artifacts
    125+ War of 1812 Era buttons and relics

    (probably should have started with that one)
