Got out just a few days ago with my good friend Mark and we went to a few well hunted areas near downtown just to see if anything new was there. It all looked to be pretty much the same as before. Some grown over lots and that big construction site that has been fenced off. So we decided to hit a lot that had the least amount of grass and well it certainly had been hunted before and was still very trashy. Isn't it amazing how almost EVERY person who has drank cheap Muscatel wine in Shreveport just HAPPENED to be drinking it at those lots downtown? And just HAPPENED to not have a trash can nearby so they throw the cap on the ground. I suppose they didn't know that you could drink just "part" of the bottle and take the rest home. Same goes for Schlitz Malt Liquor drinkers. Oh well ... if it were that easy to hunt... well, everyone would do it.
Anyhoo ... we hunted for most of a day and came away with lots and lots of clad change and 4 or 5 Tax tokens but we were able to sniff out a few pieces of silver. I found a 1937 Merc and an old silver object that appears to have been a dime at one time. It's the size of a dime, really thin and worn though and it has a hole drilled in the top so it was worn around the neck but it has been either sanded or worn down to absolutely no detail so my best guess is that it was either a Seated Liberty dime or possibly a Barber but we'll never know. I'll bring it to the next meeting. I also found a few other interesting items including an old button and a large token. Mark also found several interesting items and snagged a Silver Rosie towards the end of the day after a lot of hard hunting. And like I almost always do, I took the camera and even told Mark that we need to get a few pics for the club website but alas ... I forgot to even get the thing out so ... my bad.
All in all it was a good day. Actually ANY day hunting for silver is a good day when you actually find something. Until next time ... get out there and hunt.

Our Club Today
Our club has approximately 20 active members. At our meetings we have good food, fun, and fellowship. Our club has a friendly Find of the Month competition, and many of our meetings include outside guest speakers who make excellent presentations on a variety of topics related to historical research and metal detecting.
We have club hunts to various sites including beaches, parks, fairgrounds, and trade day sites. We either take picnic lunches or eat at local dining facilities.
The Association of Christian Treasure Searchers invites you to join us. We have truly found the greatest treasure imaginable. This treasure requires no digging. This treasure is a free gift. John 3:16 states, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
Eternal life is the greatest treasure anyone could possibly obtain. The only way to obtain it is to accept it as a free gift. A gift paid for with the blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son, who was crucified for you and me on an old rugged cross. You can have the gift of eternal life by asking Jesus, in a simple prayer, to forgive you of your sins and be your Lord and Saviour. If you haven't secured your eternity in heaven, we invite you to do so right now. If you have any questions, please click on the Grawood Baptist Church link for more information or to be contacted by a minister.
