Big Silver & Firsts... Found a new favorite Spot!

My sons and I found a old vacant school this weekend and decided to head back out there today. Here's the result of 2½ hours of hunting in our new favorite spot.

The halves were both in the same hole at 5 inches. Boy did that scream at me. I almost didn't dig the hole because I figured it was a soda can or something.

1909 V-Nick Son#2 First
1891 Indian Son#1 First
1937- Buffalo
1947- Walker My First :walk:
1961D Franklin My First

And a 14-quarter-in-one-hole cache/spill - just 1967-80 clad though.

Thanks for looking!

Ya, the variety suggests that there may be more out there given the time span involved... also that this place hasn't been hunted much over the years. There's a lot of 70s clad too and I always like to see that still at a site.

Nice hunk of silver in that hole! Congrats! :thumbsup:
The Indian looks great too!
Come to think of it, the Buff and V look good too.
Way better than most of my nickles from around here.
Awesome hunting!
