Yes I am going to try this again. I am going to give away 3 Silver Half Dollars this year to forum members that comment on my threads. The idea is to spur more activity here on the forum as in participation. This is a giveaway not a contest. The prizes are again a Walking Liberty for first draw, a Ben Franklin for second and this year including a Kennedy Half Dollar for the third. This drawing is open to all forum members new and old. It is my hope to see at lot of the new people on these threads. There is a few changes to the rules this year. The winners most have at least one post on all my threads in the month of April (anticipating 3) starting with this one. All posts must contain at least 10 words and a complete sentence. All comment or posts must be placed in the month of April. April 30th being the last day. There will be a drawing that will take place on the First of May to pull the winners. I will at that time announce the winners and PM them for a mailing address. If by chance the Corona Virus shuts down hunting in Wisconsin this activity will be suspended and resumed at a later date. If any questions please PM me.
Now on to the report. My Silver hunt steak has continued for 2020 in which I have dug at least 1 Silver coin in every hunt this year. Now in fairness I must say my pig-headiness has helped to maintain it. A couple of the outings I would not quit until I achieve my goal adding several hours to those hunts. The results did get me into a little bit of trouble on the home front. The first of the five hunts was the best. It provided the the best two finds of all the hunts. A Barber Quarter that put a big smile on my face and another "V" Nickel were my spices. The "V" is my forth of this year and which now equals the total count of them for my career in this hobby. Have been in this hobby for over 10 years. For those that did not know it was my White Whale and only dug my first ever just a year and a half ago. Anyway, the next three outings I dug only one Silver in each and not much of anything else to speak of. The last hunt did give me a couple of Silver's with a Rosie and a Merc. The 7 Silver coins now has the count FTY at 31. I can only hope April can find some new grounds to play in as targets are becoming pretty uncommon of late. On to the next and good luck to all in the giveaway. Trapper

. But since the start of my new Fiscal year of hunting I have found 3 and several other silver quarters, including my "white whale", 2 standing liberties.....Best of luck on your contest.
because your posts are generally inspiring, and fun to see. Thank you.
The Barber quarter looks like it is in excellent condition, too. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your threads as the warmer weather approaches us!
