I was nailing them today, one right after another. I dug out another 6 silver coins out the huge median that runs two miles long on both sides of the street.
Some of the other finds today were a buffalo nickel, 15 wheat pennies, and a car hood ornament that might be from the 1930's. This huge median adds up
to 39 blocks. It takes about 5 hours worth of swinging in a tight grid pattern to complete one pass through one block. So you're looking at almost 200 hours
to swing a metal detector through to whole thing. I still have a lot of hunting to do!

Really good day you had. Hard to beat 6 silvers in a day but I really like digging those dog vax tags too. I’ve got 6 or 7 including a 48, and 2 -57s. Good going

Incredible, what a wonderful site you've found. Will you do a wrap up post when you've done the whole thing? I think that could end up on the Best of the Best on TNet.

You're ringin the bell. time, after time, after time! Do you think these grounds are a playground/schoolyard, a public meeting ground or perhaps a dump? At any rate congratulations. When you show your total finds I think banner! Wide angle lens for sure!
