[I consider just getting out hunting a good day, but when silver is found it turns a good day into a great day. Met up with Unaka and Curly a couple of hunting partners around 12:30 and we visited a couple of places Steve had hunted before. On the first site all I could find was junk. I chased transient signals all over the place but never dug a coin. Steve did better he found 3 or 4 but Unaka found a spill plus a set of keys. We headed for the second site and I found a few items. This site had produced both silver and wheat pennies for Steve years before but he never had gotten the chance to return. I started hunting in a small area and before long I had a target. 7 inches down I saw the glint of silver. I had found my first silver quarter for the year, a 1963. Then I pulled a 1917 wheat, moved over a few feet and pulled 2 1960 quarters from the same hole then another 1963. Best day ever finding silver. 4 silver quarters in a 20 x 20 area plus 1 wheat.
