3rd hunt of the year, and 3rd this week.  First hunts since last fall, and managed to snag a walker.  Sparse site, but it often gives me something good; I’ve pulled a reale and a barber quarter out of here in the past.

Grass is only mowed once a year, so you can only hunt it in the spring.  2 hours in, I had only 4 coins, and nothing old, so I was getting frustrated.  This was a real screamer, and I didn’t think it had much chance of being a big silver, but there is was, at the bottom of the hole.

This part of the site is difficult to work, as there is alot of high tone trash in the area, and it is tough to work around.  Large pieces of copper from who knows what, and after digging a few, you get burnt out, and have to go by size and sound, and hope for the best.

I imagine that is how this was missed, as it is a difficult guessing game.
