A Few Recent Hunts

I had made plans to meet up with John (midas) Saturday at a new site I had recently added to my list, but Friday night I called him to cancel. We agreed that he should still go, and he did. Then at about 11:30 this morning he calls me from the site to tell me he had picked up two silver coins, a merc and a 1876 Seated quarter. After a bit of prodding he convinced me to make the over one hour trip to the site. Well, I just couldn't refuse.

I arrived at the site after 1:00, and by then John had added another merc to his count. I couldn't wait to get started myself. We worked the site for two hours, and by then I had in my pouch 8 silver coins. We took a break to have something to eat, after which we again tackled the field we had been working. Long story short, when it was time to leave I had in my pouch 14 silver coins.... or so I thought. Once home I counted 13, so I either miscounted or lost one of the dimes while placing it in my pouch. :thinkingabout:

The following are from a few other recent hunts - 1895 Barber quarter, two Indian Head cents (one is a fatty), a Walking Liberty Half, a Barber dime, a large cent. The last photo is of a few wheat and Indian Head cents, a 1907 Barber dime, a 1884 seated dime, and a sterling silver cufflink.

13 silvers in a couple of hours...you are a machine. Really now, how much prodding from Midas did it take. Your posts never disappoint and congrats on all your keepers
 
as usual you just come up with the most silver 13 silvers in one hunt would simply be amazing to me that sounds like a weeks worth to most of us congrats on yet another great hunt dennis
 
You always find such an incredible variety of old coins, Angel! Any one of those photos would represent a hunt of the year for me!

Thanks for the inspirational post, and congrats on the amazing finds! :clapping:
 
More silver for your pile! <: Looks like the ride was definitely worth it. :yes:
A great assortment of keepers you posted Angel. Congrats on the 13/14 silver day. :clapping:
 
Angel you are just amazing. No matter where you go you squeeze some silver from the dirt. Congrats on scoring some beauties. Happy Hunting!!
 
Awesome finds Angel! I'm surprised by how much sulfide build up is on that WLH, let see what she looks like when you clean her up.... :->
 
Awesome as usual!! If I ever got into double digit silvers in an afternoon hunt,I'd probably need some tranquilizers much less keeping track of the count lol
