Last Sunday...new pics

[Johnny Cache]

Last Sunday I had a GREAT day of detecting. I returned to a place I have hunted quite a bit, and I'm glad I did. I don't know how I missed these before. I got a strong silver signal (the strongest silver signal I have ever gotten), and almost wrote it off as a pop can. Anyway, in one hole five inches deep I discovered these three lovely ladies...I was truly amazed! Six months of detecting, and THIS is what I have been looking for! The pictures here turned out really nice (I posted some low quality ones on the Garrett forum the day I found the coins), so I figured I post the new ones here. My hunting season is basically over until spring, so I'm posting a pic of my silver finds from the last 6 months. This hobby is so cool, I absolutely love it!

Also, does anyone here ever send coins away to be graded? I would really like to have some of my coins graded but I am nervous about putting them in the mail.

I think that's amazing for 6 months! Are you hunting an old park or home sites?

Awesome finds! If I'd found those...I think I'd have a hard time calling it quits for the year Have you looked locally for a coin dealer for grading?

Congrats!

keep working that site for everything it might hold as long as the weather cooperates, and then head out-of-town for milder wintertime detecting! With that streak of luck, who knows what the future holds for you!

Please, fill us in when posting about the make/model detector and coil used, general settings, and a rough description of the type of site(s) you're hunting. Many readers might gain some useful information from it. Don't 'X' mark the specific site (just e-mail me the details ), just give us a general description of its past use.

Thanks for posting. The photos look great and are almost on par with your detecting success!

I think he works at the Smithsonian Institute and they let him hunt the grounds after hours.

Send to a reputable grading company. I sent one to The Chicago Area once and all was well. Look in a coin book and all the address are usually listed where you can send the coins in. Insure it for a good amount just in case you lose it in the mail..or do as I did send UPS Insured.. Take Pictures and record the date and the package .

Murfar, you make me laugh!!!

Monte, the site I have been having great luck with contains the following: Pioneer wagon tracks, long-gone baseball diamonds, golf traffic and the Circus used to set up a few hundred yards away around the early 1900's. (the actual circus site is neck deep with plant life:veryangry. On top of it all, I have the exclusive permission to hunt as I please. Man, as I read this paragraph I can't believe how good it sounds lol. I use a GTAx 550 in factory coin mode and all metal mode. I have done a couple of parks, and have gotten permission to hunt some old farmyards, and empty lots.

Thanks guys, tomorrow I'm going to see if I can find a coin grader who is relatively local....or send the coins away to be graded.

Amazing. That's more old silver than I have found in TEN YEARS of detecting. You surely have a great hunting location. Thanks for the pictures.
