It always amazes me how different silvers come out of the ground. This one I believe went in early and had a tough life between a salted street and a paved walkway. Once again chipped away from a soggy frozen block. She was black scaled beyond recognition so I cleaned her up while drinking a hearty porter on yet another frozen night.

Stay warm and happy hunting!

You mean 135 dimes. What a dime streak! Lol I'd hate to spoil it with a quarter or half;)

Congrats again on your big silver. People don't forget those!

Cut the crap Abe. Just one of the silvers you're going to find this year is probably going to be older than all mine combined. The good thing is I have researched a bunch and found some sites for promising 1800's silver or better;)

Thaw baby thaw!

Hey brother when we hit the 1600s we take whatever comes out of the ground. But I gotta tell ya, when it's silver with a tree on it it doesn't suck lol

Lucky. Now you just have to find a 17th century gold coin to have full bragging rights. Bet I find one first. Gold-scattered wrecks of the Florida Keys here I come! Maybe one day anyway... :treasurechest::laughing7:
