I just got in the door and so excited to post this that i didn't even rinse and check the dates of the coin spill. Ive been wanting a US silver for along time and now i have some. I see standing liberties and barbers in the mix.i will post more pictures and dates later when I'm done cataloging all of them. They are mostly all quarters with some dimes and five cent pieces mixed in. I thought i wouldn't top my 26 silver Newfoundland coin find a awhile back but i did. They all were in a small area on a old driveway and the ground was packed hard. Took me two hours to dig them all out. At a quick glance they look to all be from late 1800's to late 1920's. Thanks for looking! [emoji2]

What the heck is going on around here?! Is it silver season? First a post from Vino with 20-something silver coins, then another with 40-something silver coins, and now you with 73?!!! That's amazing and congrats on a killer spill recover. It must have made your year!

Crazy. I would keep them all together and as I think you decided not clean them. Just goes to show you never know what will be found and where.

It would have been a long one. The ground was dry and packed. Probably two hours to get them all out. Im for sure going to get that iron out to see if its hiding a few more. I doubt it though! [emoji2]

Getting a coin spill is one thing, getting a cache is another and when it's all silver it's a winner for sure. Banner!
For keeping it with the dug look, or cleaning them up, gee what a conundrum to be in.
