Little City Park Giving Up The Silver

Recommended Posts

My sister-in-law was coming into town today so my wife gave me the green light to go do some metal detecting for a couple of days. I decided to go try a couple of new spots. First one was about 45 minutes from the house the second one was about an hour and a half. Neither one panned out so I decided to drive another hour and a half to a place that had produced some silver last month. It was 1:00 when I finally got to do some serious hunting. I kept having a gut feeling to hunt a certain area so that's where I began. Within 3 hours I had five silvers and a couple of Wheaties. I hit a nice spill that had four coins in the same hole, a merk, a silver Washington quarter, a 1940 nickel and a 1936 Buffalo nickel. My little honey hole played out so I decided to do a little roaming around. I went to another section of the park, started off with a couple of Wheaties ended up scoring three more silver dimes. My goal for the year was to hit 100 silver coins today put me over the top at 103. I'm going back tomorrow to spend about 5 or 6 hours and see if I can find a couple of more hot spots.

Just another day on the time machine you've been riding....  :biggrin:  And more silvers than Wheaties; 8 to 5 -- it wasn't close.  That happens, like, never?  I look forward to your next report, but not as much as you are looking forward to tomorrow's hunt.

Now that is a great hunt with those type of silvers, and the rest of the coins are nice also.

Keep up the hunt and bring home some more of them, don't let the old ones be lost forever.

Good luck on your next outing.

Thank you. Finding more silver than wheats is very unusual, but I'll take that every day of the week :-)

Wow! An eight silver day is awesome!   Congrats on surpassing 100 for the year. 

Thank you very much. We moved to a different part of Texas this year, and it was a struggle for the first two or three months to figure out where to hunt.

Thank you, most of what I'm finding is between 6-9" it appears that I am finding the leftovers, for me that's the most rewarding part.

Wow, awesome, been years since I've found more than one silver in a hole

This is the third multiple silver spill that I found in this park. I'm not sure what's going on but I have found six multiple coin spills at this location.
