First silver of 2011

[Bob in SoMd]

Hey all,

Got out for a bit after work to take advantage of the warmer weather. The last couple of times out have been clad-city and only a couple of wheaties. Today I had been out for about 30 minutes and got a solid 40-45 hit at 5 inches and decided to give it a shot. Glad I did! Though I ran smack into a 2 inch diameter root, I finally saw some silver peeking out. It was actually completely under the root but luckily the ground around it wasn't too difficult and soon I was looking at a sterling bracelet - probably a kids - with 3 rocks that have been etched with the same design. Two of the rocks were missing. The artist left his mark on the back.

Not sure what type of stones they are. Anyway, it was a nice first silver for this year!

Congradulations on the persistant dig. You got rewarded on that one! The silver should spur you on for a few more months, maybe carry you through the winter times. Keep digging. HH EZ

Thanks all! Scoured the area again today hoping to maybe find another piece and believe it or not found a tiny piece of the clasp...lying right on top of the dirt pile! Ran the MXT over it and it gave me a low tone...really making me think about where my settings are. Think my discrim has been a bit too high lately (above 2).

Looking forward to some warmer weather. Hey CCH - how 'bout sending some of that warm gulf air up this-a-way???

Good luck to all!

Bob
