How many chickens do you have to sacrifice before each trip? You have to be getting your silver-pulling super powers from somewhere Haha!

Excellent haul, and some good age in there too.

Super impressive pile. That ring is outstanding .........uhhhhh one point I'd like to make though I think that top pic is giving away way too much info! Infact yes I believe I know where the 'spot' is.

Nah just kidding I'm just envious keep it up and clean it out.

Lol thanks, I thought long and hard about posting that pic, I did think that someone might be a keen botanist and recognize the vegetation and it's habitat.

Another great weekend hunting, solo hunt Saturday with 7 silvers, a boat badge, yesterday (Sunday) with no8wire and Marcus from The FB group, only 3 silvers but also another 9ct Gold ring.
Along with those finds (not shown) were the usual heap of penny's and bits.

I just don't know how you do it mate!
I swear you must have a sixth sense for silver.
I take three hard won silvers back to the the car, and you unload a pocketful!
Got to admit it....your becoming somewhat of a legend around here!
Congrats mate....well played.

They could melt down all the your silver to produce a commemorative statue of you! Now you just need enough silver to match your body volume and we can make it life size.

Good work as always! Keep it up!
And now....On sandy beaches and muddy soil, rings and coins await my coil!
