I had my best silver day ever on Saturday. I went back to the old park that I had been working and as usual just focused on the deep signals. All of the snow melted the day before which made the conditions a bit sloppy but the temps were about 60 and it was still February I was not complaining!

I found 10 wheats, 2 sterling rings, a no date Buff, 1943 P War nik, 1935, 1941 and 1944 mercs, 1914 D and 1911 Barber dimes. The 1945 Washington I dug the day before during my lunch break. The "musketball" I also dug but it really does not have the white patina that I think it should have so I am not convinced it is that old...it is lead for sure though.

The barber dimes came in back to back holes about 3 ft from each other. That was a nice rush!

I think the monogram silver ring is my favorite find. It does not have a markers or sterling mark on it but it is pretty worn. I found it about 10 inches deep in a park that dates back to at least 1876. No way to prove how old it is but I would not be surprised if it is from the late 1800's.

Well looks like the colder weather might settle back in...but all of these beauties will keep me warm until I can get out again!

Thanks for lookin!

Congrats on your best silver day ever! That park is teaching the value of going slow and listening for deep signals. The 2 barber dimes are certainly early drops. I can see LIBERTY on both of them. The engraved ring sure looks 1800s to me. The style of lettering plus the fact they are hand cut and not machine engraved is just beautiful. Best wishes and HH, Dave.

how many hours and how many sites (what kind of places) did you hit?

I hunted for about 5-6 hours and found all of them at 1 park with the exception of the monogram ring that I found at a different park. I am very fortunate to have many public places that I can hunt!
 
I actually got out myself this weekend but nothing to compare to those results. Great hunts. Nice lookinh Barbers. Might try to get out this Saturday as well if I don't go Ice Fishing. Nice start to the new year. WD
 
Congrats on the amazing weekend! How lucky are we to be able to detect this time of year?! You found some great coins but my favorite has to be that old silver ring. It looks really old.

:congrats:
 
Its always great to see the park hunters detect early in the year when the snow melt has just taken place , you guys find the deeper and older silver finds . great day for sure :cheering:huge congrats Bucknut :notworthy:
