Great vid!

Nice finds and congrats on yer first silvers!

I found a small spoon that also has 1847 Rodgers brothers on it, it also says "Flair" in cursive

I believe the 1847 was when they were founded as so i've been told

Is that Greg (Goio) i see in that vid? He said you guys were making some nice finds.

Ask him about "Iron Man" ;D

A BIG Congratulations!

My first silver was also a Mercury Dime--and I found my #1 and my #2 in the same hunt as well--an old Farmhouse in Virginia back in 1993.

Nice work. :thumbsup:

Nice job on the SILVER
Great feeling ....
Congrats
I have hunted that camp lots of times over the last couple years.. Found lots of silver there myself.
Use to hunt it back in 93-96 too found alot of stuff then...
I'm petty sure it was closed in the early 80's so there will be modern coins too.
It will never be hunted out.....

Wow! Nice finds! That mercury 1943 Dime looks sharp all right! You should take that coin to your local coin show and see what grade it would be. If you were interested to know that. Sounds like you had an awesome day! I really enjoyed watching you hunt! Its just as much fun as hunting yourself! Only you get to see what other people are finding which is pretty awesome! ;D :thumbsup:

An excellent video. Always enjoy seeing what someone brings up out of the ground. Your 2 firsts are 2 items I'm still looking for. I've found silver coins, but my dimes have all been Barbers or Rosies, and None of the nickels have been indians. WTG, and hope you are able to find many more.
:wink:

I'm sorry to inform you, but looking at what you dug in one day......You are now definitely without a doubt.....
HOOKED and permanently infected with the sickness!! You had a chance to avoid this up until you dug the first silver and then the second along with your first buffalo. Its a sad story shared by many of us that werent warned
of this condition until it was too late. Common side affects are daydreaming, looking for reasons to get off work to go hunting, and making deals with the man upstairs to just let you dig one more!!
OH WELL, Theres no hope for you now. Sending a Big DOUBLE ATA-BOY your way for the two firsts!!
I look forward to seeing how your illness progresses in upcoming posts!! JOHNNY 8)
