I’ve been out once since 5\/7 before today.\u00a0 Just to close off my 76 silver site.\u00a0 Didn’t find anymore silvers.\u00a0 Oh well.\u00a0 So sad to see such a special site go.\u00a0 Found 2 half dollars there, including a Barber, a shield nickel, a largie, and of course all the silvers.\u00a0 Just a normal town park.\u00a0 Who says you can’t find silver in parks anymore?\u00a0 Bet there are quite a few still there.\u00a0 Found most of them in the summer of 2011, my 516 silver year.\u00a0 Learned most of what I know about metal detecting at that place.<\/p>\n

Back to the real world, where I am no longer finding silver, but, in all fairness, I rarely have to time or the circumstance to get out anymore.\u00a0 I did get a rare weekend hunt in this morning tho, at an abandoned house.<\/p>\n

Frustrating hunt, as I got alot of deep high tones, but not one single coin for about 4 hours.\u00a0 It was hard to tell if the place was hunted out or not.\u00a0 I did get 5 old copper buckles and a big ass skeleton key (about 5 inches long), which suggested that there could be goodies here, but there weren’t.\u00a0 Those buckles sound so good too, like silver pretty much.<\/p>\n

I also got a silver relic as a consolation prize, looks like the back of a pocket watch.\u00a0 Its marked “junior coin No 1”, with some number stamped below it.\u00a0 I couldn’t find anything on this, but I’m guessing that means it is coin silver,\u00a0 It certainly tests as silver, and comes in at a hefty 12+ grams.<\/p>\n

Finally, at the very end, got the only coin of the day, a toasted King George III copper with 3 (are you kidding me?) holes.\u00a0 Certainly not photo-worthy, there just for reference for the big silver thing.<\/p>\n

Well, it looks like that kind of year, where I don’t get out much.\u00a0 We’ll see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
