Been squeaking by with rosies lately, but also pulled a large silver religious pendant, and a small sterling charm.\u00a0 I thought the pendant was a silver quarter, and the charm a silver dime.\u00a0 Still silver, but they don’t count in terms of “silvers” cause they ain’t old coins.\u00a0 The rosie, tho, does extend a modest silver streak to 4.<\/p>\n

The hunt was at a new site I was quite optimistic about (and still am, I guess), but it was a bit frustrating, if any hunt with silver can be frustrating.\u00a0 I pulled about 60 coins — 9 wheaties, the rosie, and about 50 clads.\u00a0 Almost all of the clad was deep 60s and 70s clad, and the wheaties were deep as well.\u00a0 These are all signs that the site was not hunted hard, there are no grade and fill issues, and it should have yielded more silver.<\/p>\n

I look at 2 ratios — wheats to silvers and overall silver percentage.\u00a0 Wheats to silvers is the most important, and mine is at 2.41 to 1.\u00a0 Should have pulled 3-4 silvers by that count.\u00a0 My overall silver percentage is a bit north of 5%, meaning about 1 of 20 coins I pull is a silver.\u00a0 Should have had 3 by that metric as well.<\/p>\n

So, the site owes me a couple.\u00a0 Hopefully I’ll get some payback some day.\u00a0 Its a huge site, with many sections and lots of fill and grade here and there, so it will require quite a bit of figuring, watching the ratios, and just plain luck to coax the silver out of it.\u00a0 It also has an older section than what I was working today — waiting for rain on that so I get that extra depth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
