Managed to double my YTD silver count today by dropping a fivespot.\u00a0 Not bad, as these things go.\u00a0 Last time I pulled 5 or more silvers in a single hunt was way back in November.\u00a0 Of course, we lost a few months due to the endless winter, but, realistically, the fivespot is the new double digit day.\u00a0 We’ll take it, cause silver coins are hard to find.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What’s remarkable about this hunt is that the site is a place I’ve called “Chester County’s most difficult silver park” in previous posts.\u00a0 Now that I have 12 silvers from the place, I guess I can’t call it that anymore.<\/p>\n

But, it really is like that.\u00a0 My first 5 hunts at this park produced bupkis.\u00a0 Most people would have given up, but I don’t give up.\u00a0 Eventually, I got smart enough to do the sidewalk strips around the park, and got a couple of mercs in the trash.<\/p>\n

Once I got the Big Unit, tho, this park seemed to open up a bit.\u00a0 Outside the sidewalk strips and a stray merc with the stock coil, all the other silvers have come with the Big Unit.\u00a0 All have been hard and on the edge of detection.\u00a0 While I have no science to claim the Big Unit outperforms the stock coil on these targets, and while I also think this is a very high skill hobby that I’ve gotten better at over the years, I think the Big Unit has helped.\u00a0 So that’s that.<\/p>\n

What’s also helped is that it has rained alot around here recently, and the grass is short.\u00a0 I doubt I would have found today’s silvers in the middle of August.\u00a0 I also think I was unbelievably lucky, but we’ll take it. Still the (2nd) hardest park in Chester County to pull silver from.\u00a0 (There is a new first, a very old park where I’ve hunted 6 good hunts, including with the Big Unit, and still have scored bupkis, but today’s hunt gives us hope for all of those really difficult sites.).<\/p>\n

Ok, this entry sucked, but when you pull a fivespot from a hunted out park, it just doesn’t matter, does it?\u00a0 Here they are all shinyed up —<\/p>\n
