    sunrise to sunset hunt nets 19 silvers

    This is sort of hard to believe, as my previous record on silvers in one hunt was 7. Managed to find a hot zone today tho, and pulled 19.

    Started swinging at about 7, and had 2 in the first half hour, so I was hopeful I could break my old record, and had that by 11:30. Next goal was 10 in one day, and it took a while, but had that by about 1:30. Then a few kept coming, and had 16 by 3:30. Hit a slow spell and was still looking at 16 by 5:30, then hit a pair of mercs one after the other. Goal was to get to 20, but could only nail one more in final hour and a half before I had to leave. Had a really sweet hit about 5 minutes before I had to leave that I was certain was a silver, but turned out to be three wheats together.

    Scanned them with the dirt since its even hard for me to believe. Don't expect I'll ever have a hunt like that again. Also hit the milestone of 50 silvers for the year.

    Talk about a great way to get a nice healthy bump in your silver count for the year.
    You and your machine were in perfect harmony today.

    Public property. There's even someone else in there, I could see his plugs. But I've been working this site systematically since last year, and finally struck it big by keeping records of where I've been and not been.

    And yes, I really did feel in tune with the E-Trac today. Alot were E-Trac silvers, the sort where See thru and good ears paid off.
