Struck Silver in SF :thumbup:

After getting silver skunked at GGP Saturday, I decided to try another place on Sunday in San Francisco I've been wanting to hunt for a while. Got there early in the morning (was nice, nobody around) and my 3rd signal was a nice merc. Ten minutes later another merc, then 20 minutes later a barber :biggrin: Half hour later another merc :bouncy: I thought that it was going to be one of those legendary days of days gone past that I've only heard about (but dream about often), but after an hour of hunting and four silvers, that was it. Spent another two hours looking for more silver, and got one wheat and the usual suspects. Also got an old (and very rough) Victorian match safe, found the body of it, and then a few feet away got the top. It was silver plated at one time, but it's glory days are long gone. A few other what's it's and what nots, marbles (one from Saturday), dog tag from TX, guess rover was on a city by the bay excursion :wave: What was really odd is that I only found one wheatback :shrug: Why can't my normal wheat to silver ratio be 4:1 :nono:

Thanks for looking & HH,

Pretty Great Day if you ask me. I love it when I wheat to silver ratio is higher on the silver side. I always look at the wheat as a silver indicator, if I'm finding wheats, there are silver coins there as well.

By the dates, looks like you were hunting a pretty good layer.

What are you hunting with?

Thanks for the pics.

Thanks Rich and Cacheman. I was using the CZ70 with the Sunray FZ12 coil, great combo, even for parks :thumbup:

I love that the CZ70 is rainproof. After a couple of hours at the park people started showing up (a ukulele player too no less), then it started to rain a bit, the people left, and I had the park all to myself :blowup:
 
Wish I could find 4 silver dimes in 1 day. Way to go!
