Milestone, Very Small Sterling Along With A "V"

[jwp1964]

Another amazing year! Retirement has been good for your silver count LOL!

 

[GroundSweeper]

I think that’s the smallest ring I’ve seen. I had a small one that fit inside a penny and thought that was tiny.... your silver tally is pretty dang amazing, as usual, nice hunting Trapper. Always inspiring posts!

Very nice haul. Good work!

Careful. Concentrating all of that silver into one spot could have some unintended impact on the Earth's orbit.

That is funny Soldier. I have all my Silver in a wooden cigar box (treasure chest) and its just a little over half full. What they hold though is a lot of great memories. Trapper

Yeah that's a lot of loot!

Thank you Metal. It is some very nice numbers but it represents a lot of time along with some very great adventures with some great friends. Trapper

Way to go Trapper, way to go!

Thank you Matt. Hope to add a few more to the count before the year ends. Trapper

Congrats on 1500!! That's amazing! I am pushing for my best year yet nearing 40 lol. I might have to move to a different state if I want to make it to 1500 one day. Anyway I ways enjoy your posts and you definitely are an inspiration to many of us.

1500 silver coins is quite an achievement. Big congrats on your success.
I have no doubt it will continue. Someday, probably any day now, the name of Trapper Jack will be spoken with reverence in hushed tones by detectorists everywhere, dreaming of similar success. You deserve it!

Trapper, it goes without saying, congrats on another stellar hunt summary with all those additional silver finds! Finding 1,500 silvers is the work of a master detector who seeks to find and then achieves. Keep it going to the next milestone.

The pleasure was all mine Trapper, it was a privilege to be able to hunt with and learn from you and IDXMonster, two of the greats; I hope we can again soon.

Big congratulations on your 1500 silvers!

Congrats on the silver Trapper!!! I'm amazed at the amount you find every post you make!!!

An excellent accomplishment Jack, and one many can't say they have done before, including myself. I think the craziest part of it all, is most of it came from public area's correct? looking forward to the next report, in the meantime, good luck out there!

You mention what turns out to be the most astounding part Jeff, and others have alluded to...and not to speak for Trapper, but I can tell you because I know....at least 90 if not 95% are public finds. THAT is the insane part.

 

[Tpmetal]

Dang trapper, I aspire to find as much silver as you one day....that is IF you leave some behind for us lol

You’ve had one hell of a run Trap, here’s the video of 1500...congrats again my friend!https://youtu.be/2VAd00_M7bM

Thank you Kevin, not only for the reply but the Video. The 1500 plateau was my goal for this year so anything more will be just bonus. With Trapping season just weeks away I think 200 will be out of reach. Trapper

Congrats on a whole lotta coins !

Thanks Surgeon. Not only a lot of coins but a lot of memories. I have been truly bless with rewards not only treasure but some great friendships over the years in this hobby. Trapper

Loved the video. I have to say... you are the coolest group of guys. Congrats on the 1500. Just remarkable. Really nice year with 171. Seems somewhat over shadowed by last year's huge number, but still VERY good. You are an inspiration. I'm going to keep at it. Like you said, there is still silver coins even in Montana.... and Utah.

Appreciate the response Tyler, thank you. Kevin made the video happen and I'm very thankful for that. Last year with my retirement I was driven and a pretty good plan. I hunted about 28-30 hours a week with hunting at least 5 days a week. Guess it just wore me out. This year it has been more relaxed and I had health issues to contend with. That shifted a lot of my priorities. Still 1500 was my goal for the year and I feel very blessed to reach it. Trapper

Well Trapper, another milestone. Why am I not surprised ? You sir are the master. A huge ATTABOY for your achievement and another fine harvest of silver. The rings are sweet, as well is the V nickel. Always nice when Lady Liberty shows up. Enjoyed the Video, Kevin is a master in his own right with his knowledge, wit and humor. You are fortunate to have hunting buddies like those guys. Good luck and 200 fty is looking good HH Mark

Unbelievable the dedication the work and the time you truly are the silver master Trapper . I only can hope and dream that some day i might be able to even come close to 1500 silver dug coins . Truly Amazing. One way or another we are going to make it happen for next year !

Appreciate your very kind words Mike, thank you. I don't know about "Master" but I try hard to continue to learn from the experience. Still I'm a slow teach. About next year I agree we got to make it happen. Trapper

I just have certain “school book images” in my mind of rugged canyons, tumbleweeds and rattlesnakes....not really a silver coin-filled image. But the history of those states is the Wild West, and somewhere in there are pioneers, settlers, and silver! It IS very surprising to see the numbers of silver coins found west of the Mississippi. WAY more than I thought there’d be...which is good for you guys!

I also had that impression. Big territory with scarce population. Still there is history. The finds of those guys in that country has been no less than magnificent. No doubt highly impressive. Trapper

Looks like finding that seated quarter got you guys back out to that same field. That looks like the next corner over.

You have that site nailed Soldier. Number 1500 was about forty feet up the line from Kevin's Seated. That Site has produce some very amazing coins for me including A Seated Quarter, a Barber, a Franklin Half and a couple of "V" Nickels. Trapper

Wow, congrats on the huge accomplishment on 1,500. That is awesome and well deserved from your hard work. Congrats on the last few weeks loot!

 

[jack&jill]

That’s some really great hunting Trapper! Big Congrats on the 1500 silver milestone!

Thank you Ron for your very kind words. The milestone of 1500 was my goal for this year. Guess I can now start on next years goals. Trapper

Trapper, Congrats on number 1500 !! Very impressive my friend....As always enjoy the posts and knowledge you pass along....Continued success to you...HH !

Appreciate your reply Andy, thank you. I know you have been busy of late still I miss your posts as you have made some really fantastic finds in the past. Trapper

Another amazing year! Retirement has been good for your silver count LOL!

Thank you Jerry. It is not the year I had last year but this one has been pretty darn decent also. Your right about retirement as the Silver count since has been great. Trapper

 

[Wolf-Dog]

Congrats on the amazing finds, Trapper!

Appreciate your reply Jeff, thank you for you very kind words. Both the Rings are smaller than a Penny but the littlest one is by far just plain tiny. It is funny as it rang in big on the "Nox" Trapper

Very nice haul. Good work!

Thank you Ma6tor.The early fall season has been very good for me. Just wish I had more time to play. Trapper

Congrats on 1500!! That's amazing! I am pushing for my best year yet nearing 40 lol. I might have to move to a different state if I want to make it to 1500 one day. Anyway I ways enjoy your posts and you definitely are an inspiration to many of us.

Thank you Ben for your reply. The 1500 represents a lot of cherish memories over the years in this hobby. There is nothing bad about digging 40 Silver Coins in a year. Actually it is very impressive. Trapper
