This was at one of my better sites, a site that has given up 124 silver coins.\u00a0 I never really finished it off, but all the unworked zones never seemed to have shown any promise, but I figured I’d give them one more try since I had a bigger coil and more skill.<\/p>\n
One of those zones did give up a rosie the day before (Tue), but this was an extremely tough zone to work — it was a very steep embankment.\u00a0 You wonder why anyone would have ever been on it, but you work it anyway, cause it prolly has never been worked before (especially given the number of silvers found in the hot part).\u00a0 Tons of high tone trash here, it had definitely never been worked, but it only contained 3 coins.\u00a0 I worked hard for that silver, cause not only was it steep, it was muddy, and I kept sliding down.<\/p>\n
Today I had millions of Christmas errands, including buying some beer for the holidays from my favorite brewery, which put me in a town where I’ve never found one stinkin’ silver coin, despite a few old sites and many, many, attempts.\u00a0 I just figured the whole town was hunted out — its possible if you live there, and work each site the way I work sites.<\/p>\n But I was there, and there are still some sites I’ve never tried, and I hit one of them today, and, fortunately, the entire town isn’t hunted out, as I scored two rosies and 4 wheaties in short order.\u00a0 One of the rosies was affected by iron, the type you need an E-Trac with see thru turned on to see, in all honesty.\u00a0 All of the wheaties were tough and in trash.\u00a0 The other rosie was a slam dunk, which is nice.\u00a0 Otherwise, the site seemed pretty hunted out, as there was little easy clad, but it is large, and very trashy, so there is hope for skillful working to squeeze a couple more out.\u00a0 Dunno when that will happen, as its Christmas stuff and winter weather (or so they tell me), from this point on.<\/p>\n So, it looks like we’ll fall a bit short of 400 silvers this season, assuming I don’t get out much more, but we’ll take this season, of course.\u00a0 If I don’t have anything more to post the rest of the year, I’ll at least post a recap of my season on New Year’s Eve (assuming the world hasn’t ended, since it is already 12-21-12 in parts of it).<\/p>\n HH and Happy Holidays!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ok, that title was pretty lame, but check this out.\u00a0 Dug one of the more bizarre things I’ve ever dug yesterday (Wed), a large (13.5 gram) sterling silver fly broach.\u00a0 Even used to have a stone in it at one … Continue reading <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
