    Only one coin hunt but take a look!

    Only one coin hunt but take a look!-000_1878.jpgThis is the results of an early June hunt in the Murray Idaho mining area. I had researched this site since finding old buckets and other surface trash on a hunting trip a few years earlier. The first picture is of the clearing where I believe an early 1900's mining tent camp had been in operation. Theres a stream in the background and sign of a sluice ditch and possible hydraulic operation on the high bank.[attach=2
    Some items dug that help age the site. probably dug 30 old Prince Albert tobbacco cans[attach=3
    Then, Wow! The shine of silver got the camera out again. Saw that old flying eagle.

    Heres a picture of the front of the beautiful Lady, later at home. She's a 1917 Standing Liberty type 1.

    Note: I didn't follow directions on attaching pics so hope you can make some sense of this. Sorry

    And here's the Reverse. I have dug older coins and alot of silver but never one as pretty as this. I looks like it was lost last week instead of about 80 years ago. I have rehunted the area quite a bit and brought old spoons and other items but not another coin of any kind.

    What a beauty,
    I really like the standers.
    One of my most favorite coins of all time.
    Congrats on the fine digs.

    Yes, Old Dog, It is and it's a sweet S. Had it graded at a coin shop today and he gave it a "At least very fine" Thanks for all the nice comments everyone.

    Awesome! They sure don't make coins like this anymore. The new stuff that gets dropped starts to crumble just after a couple years.
