    Back to Back to Back Silver Hunts in the Woods

    I went out today, yesterday and Fri to an area in the woods in a local park where they had cleared some invasive species brush back a couple months ago. I’ve been putting off going there as I had been occupied with numerous street projects that were going. Those are all done and the weather has been holding up, so I finally made it over there. I have been in this area before and have always made some interesting finds, but the combination of the clearings and the learning the NOX this year I think yielded some great results. I was able to find silver in each of the three hunts, here are the totals.

    Awesome finds and lots of silvers! I wish the park people near me would clear up some invasive species so I could detect.
