Vacation Day #2 = 16 silvers!!

[Ill Digger]

Monday I took another vacation day and headed up to Wisconsin again to hunt with Jeff Fire Fighter 43.

16 Silver Hunt

After about 45 minutes I got a 12-43 at 3 inches.
Expecting to find a memorial penny. When I flipped over the plug I seen this! :loveit:

A root has grown through one of the holes in the ring. I thought that was kinda cool . lol

Towards the end of the day I got a 12 -45 at 4 or 5 inches and out pops another sterling silver ring! :happydance01:
It was bent pretty bad. I can barely make out the sterling stamp even with my loupe. But it's there. lol :shocked01:

A short while later I got a pendant with a ram on it. I wasn't sure if it was silver at the time due to the tarnishing. After getting home and looking with my loupe I seen 835 stamped on the loop. :dontknow:

After doing a little research come to find out that 835 is a grade of silver popular with vintage German silver jewelry. thumbsup01
Sweet! |:cheering: Learned some new again! thumbsup01 lol

Along the way I picked up some other neat finds.

While digging a few holes I came across these old buttons. I'm not sure what they're made of. :dontknow:

They remind me of the inside of a clam shell. If you rub them a white chalky stuff rubs off on your fingers.

This has got to be my best silver day ever! 16 pieces of silver!!! <:

Not to mention 23 wheaties along the way too.

It was a great day weather wise! And as always a great time huntin' and hangin' out with Jeff! :beerbuddy:
Thanks for coming along Jeff! thumbsup01

Thanks for lookin' & HH everyone! :groovy:

[Fire Fighter 43]

Congrats again on all the silver, WTG |:cheering: It was a great day to be hunting and thanks again for the invite. I still can not believe I could not find a single silver, I guess I got my share last time we were there. Etrac 16 CTX 0, that is a blowout!! After thinking about my day I feel like my mind was elsewhere with having to leave for a couple hours to deal with my family issue. Anyway thanks again and of course I can not wait to get back on that ground.

:wow: :clapping:

Way to go Tim!!! Glad to see you out w/huntin' buddies!

Good to know about the 835- congrats on ALL that silver |:cheering: Love all the toys! I have a plane similiar to yours, also w/broken wing. I wonder if super glue would work okay on the metal. Mine is kinda porous looking, being so old.

It was a action packed day for sure! :yes:
They just don't come around like this very often. :dontknow:
That's what makes a day like this so special! :daydream:

Anyway thanks again and of course I can not wait to get back on that ground.

Thanks Jeff! It was a perfect day for swinging :yes: I was kinda thinking the same thing. I noticed you were really covering some ground. (unlike you) It almost seemed as if you were trying to hurry and find some. I can't blame you though either :dontknow: It's too bad you had to leave mid-day. But family matters prevail over MDing alot. I understand. I also feel bad you didn't find at least 1 silver coin for your efforts \:[ But don't fret my friend. We'll get back out there. :yes:

:wow: :clapping:

Way to go Tim!!! Glad to see you out w/huntin' buddies!

Thanks Tana :groovy:
It's always a good time hunting with Jeff.
Yeah, the 835 stamp was a total surprise to me.
I'm tellin' ya, I think I've learned more through MDing than all my years in school I think. lol
I don't know if glue would do the trick. :dontknow: Maybe for a display. But I wouldn't glue it and hand it over to one of the boys and expect it to hold. \:hammer: lol
If your kids are as rough on their toys as my boys are.... well, it probably wouldn't even make it out the back door before getting broke again. lol

WOW what a hunt ! Great bunch of silver , super video ! thumbsup01
Glen

Thanks Glen! |)
It was a blast of a hunt that's for sure! I couldn't have asked for a much better day of MDing.
