Thank you everyone! :beerbuddy:

:shocked04:stretcher: wow what a hunt :smitten: :smitten: great silver Angel and your Connecticut is in very sweet shape it looks like a Miller-33.7-r2 it has a URS-12 rarity rating very common (1,000 - 1,900 examples known) . i'm sure that one is worth a few bucks though |:cheering: |:cheering:

Dan

Thanks for the info Dan! :clapping: I'm happy with it, especially since it held up so well. :yes:

:huh: You do realize this could quite possibly be the understatement of the year....right? :dontknow: rofl
Dang dude! Thats a months worth or more of silvers! In one hunt! :shocked01: And a few of them are nevers for me! :crying02:
Simply off the charts Angel! |) |)
Mega Congrats!! :grin:

You may be right. lol lol

mg: I think this is the big one !!!!

rofl And I wasn't far off from experiencing the same. lol

By the way, that key looks like an antique clock winding key.

You could be right. :thinkingabout: I'm going to have to check on that. Thanks Angie! :clapping:

:wow: WTG Angel. There are a couple of dream coins for me in that pile. Is that record silver total in jeopardy for 2012? Wasn't it over a thousand a few years ago?

That's not going to happen Jeff. lol Besides, my detecting time is limited. But I will have fun each time out, that's for sure. :yes:

If I could have hunts like that I would quit my job and metal detect all the time! That first photo is the stuff dreams are made of. It boggles the mind!

You sir, are the Michael Jordan of metal detecting! |)

Thanks Tony! :embarrassed:

hmmmm... not even sure what I have words for this hunt. |) Except for You da man!

Look at how many periods of silver coins you have here. :twirlingeyes: Roosevelt, Merc, Barber, Seated and Capped Bust. <:
I can't imagine a hunt like that... must have been very exciting. Add the CT Copper :smitten: to the mix and you had a
hunt like the ones I expect to have if, in fact, I do make it past the pearly gate entrance one day. lol

What kind of depths were you pulling these coins from? I am sure they were quite camou:usaflag:ed with trash
but were they mostly deep?

Congratulations Angel.

lol lol

The coins varied in depth actually, though the older ones were predictably deeper, 8 to 9 inches. :yes: The copper was at a good 10 inches.
