In this day and age, that much silver is amazing. Big congrats!
Very nice and kind words Jerry, thank you. If I was to hold a seminar it would for the support team. AirforceMike, Dewsweeper and IDX Monster. Those are the big boys, as each of them contributed to the success of this year. As for the CTX, in my opinion it is the finest Silver machine available to the common public. This machine justs offers so much. After four years and almost 850 Silver Coins with this machine it amazes me still and there is so much more that its capable of.Wahooooo!!! Congratulations Trapper, AMAZING silver count for the year. That CTX3030 has been good for you !!!! You should hold a seminar so you can show us all HOW THE BIG BOYS DO IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Trapper. Its not the battle we fight but the end we seek. Somebody said that once I think.An amazing year for sure.I appreciate you support on my trip through it. A adventure I will not forget.OUTSTANDING!!!!!!! Way to go. I knew you could do it. Congratulations.
Thank you for the kind reply. Jealous, well Salt don't be. The amount of hunts and the accumulation of hours. Some harsh conditions and the sacrifice of other activities has to be weighed. It is a amazing number no doubt. While these results and memories I will always cherish I will not travel this road twice. TrapperAwesome!!! Big congrats to you, Im officially jealous
John thank you for your reply, it is appreciated.Congrats Trapper
Thank you Haldean. Your very right about these guys up here. They are are hearty and dedicate group. None of them are afraid of effort it takes to find some success.Wow for me too. I gotta hand it to you guys in the far North. You guys are dedicated or tough or both to get out in this kind of weather. Surprisingly it has been tough in the South this year. Not so much with the temperatures but with the rain and snow. Any way good luck to you guys. You got my respect. Great finds!
Thanks Jason. I know you can appreciate the commitment it takes to put up big numbers, as you have been there. The other guy "Dan" is in a league of his own and I love to one day get out with you two and share a adventure or two. Thank you for the support that you have given in following the reports this year.Woohoo! I knew you would do it. You're only the second one I know to surpass the 400 mark and that's an awesome accomplishment. People will be talking about this year of yours for a while. Congrats buddy!
I will do my best Brian to answer you questions. Children yes, 4 boys and a girl. All are over the age of 30. None with any interest in Metal detecting.OK, a few questions beg asking.
1. Do you have children?
2. How many hours a week/month/year do you swing your detectors?
3. How in the world do you find that much time?
I'm a little OCD about keeping a journal of my finds, locations, and hours. I've got 77 hours of coil time this year, good for 35 silver coins. I'm trying to wrap my mind around how much coil time you get. Do tell!

I don't know anyone who's found over 700 silver coins in a year like Dan, so yes he is in another league but you are right up there Trapper. I would love to hunt with you someday either out here or back by you.
Thanks Zee, I appreciate your replies. An Amazing year, I totally agree.Congrats man, that's an AMAZING year!
Thank you Saoirse.Well done!
Appreciate your reply Jeremy. When you reflect the season in amount of plugs dug I get exhausted. But you are right about the many hours and effort. TrapperThat is one amazing feat ! Many hours of digging and thousands of plugs. Congratulations on the the hard earned and well deserved 400 !
Thank you Digger for those very nice comments. To say things went my way this year is a understatement.Huge congrats to you Trap, to say that is an enormous accomplishment
is an understatement! Damn that's crazy!
Thank you Doc as your reply is appreciated. 10 or a hundred, it only matters to achieve the goal and that is success.Congratulations on a fantastic year ! I need to find two more silvers for my goal of ten . I'm keeping my eye open a spot that has a lot of potential but it's totally blanketed with knee deep Ivy and hellatious roots . The last time they cleared a smaller , similar spot there it paid off well .Keep up the good work !
Thanks Ynnek for your reply. I'm was very lucky as everything fell right for me.Ridiculously impressive!
I think I might have 10 for the year. Lol.
Some very kind words Wolf, thank you. I don't think that I could do it again as I think the grounds have been depleted greatly. Not only by me but the three guys I hunt with. Each of them hit the century mark also. TrapperCongrats, Trapper! What a milestone! I always love reading your posts and I look forward to your future ones. It has been an amazing year for you, thanks for sharing it with us! Keep up the good work.
Never thought of or seen the coalition before Kevin but it is there.I’d just like to add quickly if I may without derailing anything...if people look at your signature which has the totals of this year and last year and the relationship of the ratios of each thing dug...it tells a very specific story of HOW this was done.
Thank you OBN. I appreciate your reply as you have been there and done that before.A Epic Silver count in today's times! Big Congratulations!!
Thanks Toasted, your response is appreciated.:dgginahole:
Thank you Jerry. You may not have but I had doubts right up until last Sundays outing with IDX Monster and Whats buried. Getting onto that site really opened the door. TrapperNever a doubt! Congrats.
Thank you Matt. To say I have a passion for the shine would alas be true. Sprinkle in a little history and I am emphatic.Congratulations Trapper on reaching such an amazing milestone!
I don't think I have 400 silver in my 8 year career, in fact I don't
Very kind words Jim, thank you. I added four more today in a hunt with AirForceMike. He hit 100 Silver coins today FTY. In my end of year report I will picture all the finds and break it down. The only numbers I know at this time is I dug 11 Silver Half Dollars. 1 Seated, 2 Barbers, 4 Walkers, 3 Big Ben's and a"64" Kennedy.Wow ! I am amazed at your silver production for less than one year. Even if you don’t find one more silver in 2018, you’ll have averaged 1.106849315068493 silvers per day this year. I dare say, after detecting has been popular since... what? The 1950’s, not many folks in this day and age are going to find that many in one short year. That is very impressive, especially after thousands of TH’ers have been depleting the silver in the ground for that many years.
Do you have a breakdown, by denomination to share with your fans?
Hope you find a few more before New Year’s Day.
Jim
I know I'm ancient Marco, but only in age (68), I can still move, maybe a tad bit slower than my youth. I'm pretty lucky though, the guys I hunt with are a lot younger than me so I only have to tie one anchor to my tail so the can keep up. Oh you ever get this way you would be welcomed. TrapperSo according to what I'm reading, you're over 80 years old?
That takes your already stratospheric accomplishment to a whole nother level.
I'd give you three cheers, but that's not even close to enough...
Appreciate your reply Amc Rulz. Being retired and having a lot more free time my original plan was just to best my personal record of 232 Silver Coins. Things went much better than expected and on Sept 16th I passed the 300th level. Still I did not think reaching 400 would be possible. Some very late season breaks opened the gates. After yesterday's outing the count is now 408In this day and age, that much silver is amazing. Big congrats!
Thank you E-trac, not only for this response but for the support throughout the year. It was very much appreciated. TrapperCongrats on an epic season !
