On Saturday morning once again I found myself a bit hesitant to go hunting because of a long list of things to do around the house. But after last weekend's hunt it was a little easier to convince myself all that stuff can wait. I headed back the same spot a few towns over that gave up 7 silvers last weekend; figuring there must be more there. Within an hour of starting I scored a small silver wire ring, and then a war nickel, and then a second silver ring. But then hordes of kids showed up for soccer practice. After lingering in some out of the way areas for a while I took my leave and headed to a second spot in this town that I had been planning to check out.
I spent the first 40 minutes at this second spot wandering around without so much as one target other than a single zinc penny on the surface. I was thinking of what other spots I could check out since this one was clearly a bust. I started to head back to my car but a then convinced myself to give it some more time. A few minutes later I got a signal that didn't seem too exciting... I pulled a plug and pinpointed and the target was in the hole. I dug a bit deeper and low and behold TWO silver coins turn up and holy sweet mercy one of them was a half. I didn't even touch them and just took a minute to savor that sweet feeling. Turned out to be a 46 dime and a 45 half. Halves are pretty rare for me as are silver spills. Certainly a dig I will remember!
So naturally I spent some more time at this spot. I pullet a few clad coins, one deep wheat, a copper disc about 11 in diameter, and finally a glass shaker with a silver metal cap on it. I've actually dug a silver shaker top before but not with the glass still on it... pretty neat find for me. I will certianly hit this spot again.
I got out on Sunday morning too. It was raining so I headed for some tot lots. They were all a complete bust. The weather cleared up a bit and I wound up at one of my favorite schools that I have hunted silly in many previous hunts, but I was lucky to eek out another 4 wheats and a nice 42 quarter.
All in all, it was a very good weekend, even considering the poor clad totals. The WLH will have me smiling all week.
Thanks for looking and happy hunting!
