Indeed!
What a haul!!! That place was worth the wait and drive,
Congrats on a great hunt! For me, that sounds like a perfect scenario. Lots of coins with a chance for silver every dig! I'd probably go at it till I dropped over - wouldn't know how to quit.
I been eyeballing this old school property for about a year. Every time I arrive there much activity is going on. This location is fair drive to get to so it is hard to check on the conditions that might be going on.
So today, I had the field to myself. And I thought I better find some PA silvers before Mark gets them all....lol. In short, it was a crazy good day. It was one of those rare sites that I could not dig fast enough. And most finds were on the deeper side too.
The ground conditions were perfect. In summary, I found two GWs, 43' & 52', 42' merc. and a 1906 V-nickel in pretty good shape. Plus of course $21.00+ in clad. This brings my FTY silvers to 40.
The past couple of days have been pretty good for me. Yesterday, found a toasted LC which I am bathing in a chemical solution to really kill it. And then another $21,00 in clad too.
Thanks for checking out my latest thread!
It is crazy...we work all our lives for money and it is no big deal. I find an old nickel and I go crazy...lol.

Yeah the search and discovery is what makes it valuable. I buy worn coins off eBay all the time but my dug coins are the ones I cherish and want to pass on to my kids lol.

The clad is incredible. That is a ton of dug coins very impressive. A v nickel is something I would love to find. A large cent is just not attainable for me till I travel to hunt. Congrats on crushing it.
Looks like a fun day..
The multi silver days in public Areas are getting rare!!!..probably other silvers still hiding there!!
Congrats on the silver and on the amazing amount of clad!
Beautiful silvers and V Jak! Heck of a lot of clad too
Wow that's a lot of digging! Congrats on that mega haul!
.... Yesterday, found a toasted LC ....
So you had to tolerate a "toasted" one for once , eh ? Oh the indignity !
