Great Job on that Video! and Congrats on your haul of Silver!

I think it's very worthwhile to expand your search area and maybe pull some more goodies out?

As you find more silver I would avoid the instant gratification to check the date on your coins you might have a rare coin you scratch up. A pill bottle with cotton is the place to store those potential rare coins until you can wash them off, carefully at home.

Of course I've yet to find a rare coin but one never knows.

Congrats on your finding first silver quarter and the other silver too! At todays price of silver, that 80 cents face value has a value of about $20.00! When you go back try searching small areas in a grid so you don't miss any spots.

Cool finds nick, But you should get into the habit of NOT rubbing the dirt off your Silver coins, If the Merc. had been a 1916D you would have devalued it with the scratches from rubbing the dirt off. .... Great place to hunt keep up the good work and video's. HH

I metal detected and dug up every signal except iron and foil, I only dug up 3 or 4 pulltabs the first day and the rest was a handfull of clad + the silver.
