Hi Folks
Hope all are well over here.

A couple of days ago I had a seven silver day at one of my permissions.

I didn't realize at the time that this was a part of a much larger spill of coins...

Today I went back to the same area and well.. It was epic, and I don't use that word...

There were Walker and Franklin Halves, Buffalo's and Jefferson's, Wheats, Roosevelt's, Mercury's, slq's and Washingtons and about five pieces of clad...

I did some facebook live videos if you would like to check them out
( I fixed the links this morning, perhaps the original link was too long... They go to my facebook live video)
First half of the spill..

and then my logging friend used his skidder to move away some of the debris and rocks above and I discovered more..

Totals
24 Washingtons
1 Standing Liberty Quarter
8 Walking Half Dollars
2 Benjamin Franklin Halves
1 Kennedy Half - Not including the one from the other day
22 Roosevelt's - Not including the 6 from the other day
8 Mercury Dimes
4 Buffalo Nickles
8 Wheats
42 Jeffersons
1 Clad dime

That must of been fun, Did you try another scrape with your buddies skidder? I'd bet there are a few more hiding in there. Your video links are not working?
Links should work now. Thanks for letting me know. No more scrapes yet finges crossed.
