Field of Dreams finds, Silver, tokens and Lots of Wheat's

Hi all, Gary and I hunted our field of dream site this week. We hunted 4 days until it got so hot we couldn't stand it anymore, yeah right, actually we just got plum tuckered out!

I'm including pictures of our finds. I didn't clean the wheat pennies, there were just to many.

Gary found two Half Dollars, a 1945 S Walking Liberty and a 1959 Franklin. He also found three Silver quarters '37, '42,
and a 1925, five Mercury dimes 1918, '20,'25,'40 and 1945, four Roosevelt dimes '53 D, '53 D, '54, and 1958 D, four Buffalo nickels 1928, '28,'35 and 19??. One Saint Christopher, One Colorado Tax token/ one fifth cent Series A-35, One Roman coin (Copy) and 24 Wheat pennies.

found 2 Walking half dollar's 1943 & 1945, two silver Washington quarters 1946 & 1962, Five Mercury Dimes '44 D, '41 S,
'34 D, '40 D & 1944, One Roosevelt Dime 1956 and one War nickel 1943 P, One Ring, One music stand for music instrument, One Ohio Tested & Sealed Tag 034, One Saint Christopher, one 1883 IH and 76 Wheat pennies.

What a week, I think I'll be done for awhile, I go in for Carpal tunnel surgery Tuesday on my left hand and 3 weeks later I get my Right hand done. So I'm leaving some things for you all to find, better hurry though, I'm hoping I'm not down to long.

HH all, Ringfinder
Denny

That is absolutely outstanding! You've got to have a site there that was never hunted, and it looks like you took advantage of it. Nice research.

Thanks Ron, I sure hope I'm not out of the hunt for to long. My hunting buddy told me he would do my digging for me, now that's a bud!!

Thanks, we had hunted around this site before, but this last week we hit it, what a Goldmine, or should I say Silver mine. LOL

Re: Field of Dreams finds, Silver, tokens and Lots of Wheat's

Without giving any detail to the location of this site can you tell me what research you did and what was the site before it became a lost coin graveyard that made this place such a great find? I am new to the hobby and find it interesting and educational to hear how someone decided to go hunt that field or that grass lot when here in Iowa there are fields and grass lots almost everywhere. I am not wanting to know the location of your silver field just how a person goes about finding a place like this to hunt in the first place? Do they just luck into it or is there certain things that are key to finding such a site?

By the way great finds, however with the number of finds you show I am not sure you are hunting, I would call it gathering coins? :thumbsup:

HH,

Dave

That has been a great site for you guys Denny. No wonder you need CTS surgery-I noticed you waited until you hunted that site out. Great old coin finds. Good luck on your surgery because you have a lot of relics to find in October in Virginia.
