[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 7323372, member: 10461"]You go, Bunny Foo-Foo! Keep ‘em beepin’! You had a [B][I]Breakthrough! :woot: [/I][/B] That was my personal term for when I found one of those “bucket list” types I hadn’t dug before. A Barber quarter plus a SLQ chaser! Very impressive! I never had a day with 8 silvers. Five in a day was the best I ever did. On two occasions, I think. On one of those days, all five came up in the same hole, from someone’s 1950s pocket spill. (It was a mix of Mercs and silver Roosies, plus one early but nonsilver Jefferson.) All told, in the Barber quarters, I found 3 total in the span of my detecting career: 1894-O, 1902-O, and 1916-D. You’re going to topple my high score for silvers, at the rate you’re going, and before very long, too! And I never had more than one or two days with that many older coins. But I would imagine NYC parks are a much denser target environment than small town GA parks. It took me a whole lot longer to get to where you are now. BTW, I love how you called the shot on that Barber quarter in the video, and then later it actually [I]happened![/I] Wish for a silver half next time, or hey - why not wish [I]big[/I] - shoot for a gold quarter-eagle and see what happens! ;)[/QUOTE]
