First hunt of the year.\u00a0 Amazing that it is possible to hunt around here this time of year.\u00a0 I decided to hit the site where I found my 500th silver of the year last year.\u00a0 How can you not?<\/p>\n
This site will always hold a special place in my mind, as, last year when I was at about 450, very near the end of the year, and thinking about the impossible task of getting to 500, I was trying to budget out which sites would deliver the goods.\u00a0 This site was an unknown, as it has been hunted hard, but occasional silver is there for the patient.\u00a0 Problem is, when you are trying to reach a goal in this game by a certain time, patience is tough.\u00a0 But, when I headed out to the site, at 499 that morning, I hit a beautiful sweet silver sound in the first 5 minutes of detecting.\u00a0 It is a magical moment that I will never forget, and so, the site will always be a shrine for me.<\/p>\n
Anyway, it was 62 degrees and sunny here in Chester County on Jan 7th, and my wife decided to tag along to my shrine.\u00a0 I warned here that the good targets would be few and far between.<\/p>\n
About a half hour in, I hit a big silver sound, which is almost always a canslaw or pipe fitting, and I told my wife that, but it turned out to be a walker.\u00a0 First silver of the year was a walker, how sweet is that!\u00a0 It was only 3 inches deep, but in a very out of the box section of the site.<\/p>\n
Later, hit sweet sound of silver signal, and I said to my wife, that’s a silver dime, and sure enough, it was worn ’17 merc.\u00a0 Nice way to start the year.<\/p>\n
