Got out to an old faithful spot the other day. This place has treated me well this year. Started off slow, but ended pretty well. No gold, but ended with:

11 silver dimes
2 sterling rings - one marked 10k Gold Filled & Sterling ESPO
4 sterling pendants. One has "Sea Air and USA" Any info on that one, or age? Never seen anything like it

Also got 6 buffalo nickels, and some other misc keepers such as junk jewelry. A "Mercury Division" key. Any idea on age based on its shape? Also a 1955 dog tag not pictured.

If my math is right, this makes 126 pieces of silver from this place this year.

Thanks!

Yes, these were found in water. Most of the silvers from this spot aren't in the best condition, but silver is silver, I suppose. Quantity over quality!

Oh I was just wondering, they had the water look to em, and that's totally fine with me, id LOVE to hit a target rich water spot, cool off and find great finds like yours, beats driving, sweating, and digging in the rock hard dirt!!!

You got that right! After a place like this, it's a little harder going to a grass park and fighting the grass, rocks, potential dry dirt, dirt cloth, etc. Plus, during this hunt, there were less than 5 pull tabs, makes it that much sweeter. Been to areas there you find 30 to 40 pull tabs and just some clad.

BTW, that mangled thing on the left is a Susan B Anthony dollar. Pretty busted though!

This hunt looks like something from decades ago where it was a good day getting that many silvers, today it's almost unheard of getting a haul like this. Congrats on the great day of snagging silver.

Please quit setting the bar so high. I am already struggling!

I think that is the most silver coins I have seen in one hunt. Well done.
