Hey all! As Dan mentioned, we surprisingly had a very successful day today at the Berg. I was expecting to be content if I found only one silver, but I actually tied my record of 10. We sort of concentrated on an area that we haven't hit much in the past, and underestimated what it held. It was very tough hunting at times with all the tall weeds and thick bushes, but putting up with it paid off for everyone. The wheats/memorials are obviously left out of the pics for the contest (good luck to all by the way 8))

It's either a 1929 or 1919...it looks like a 29

That is one incredible site! It's simply mind boggling that one place has had so many coins. How long have you guys been hunting it and approximately how many coins have you recovered?

;D lol Thanks, I just got really lucky today. 8)

Nice finds! Wouldn't a 29 SLQ have a recessed date?

That's what I thought too! But I just can't look at it without seeing a 2 rather than a 1. I mean, there's decent detail on the coin for having such a worn date. ???

Thanks guys.

He was a silver magnet today. That new area def. warrants more attention (and a brush hog or mower wouldn't hurt either lol)

Great job guys. I'm guessing (hoping) my estimate was way low. Looks like a great time.

I've been thinking of asking the local VFW if I can detect there overgrown baseball fields. I'm also planning to ask long they have been there!
