1930s "virgin" site, 32 coins, only 11 clad with some silver!

[cjon455]

Hey guys, I went to my father-in-law's camper today with my wife and kids. this place goes back to the thirties and I hit it once before 2 years ago and found two Mercury dimes before getting thrown out by the old owner, he didn't like me and ill quote "excavating" his land! lol!!! so technically its not a "virgin" site but im pretty sure im the only one to ever run a detector over it. This year a new person owns it, these people are super nice, not a broke down tightwad like the former owner so my father in law asked, and I went for it. Almost right away it became appearant that its never been hit, wheats at 3inches!, I ended up with 19 wheats, the 64 roosie, and the presidential token from cracker jack, and 11 clad coins, early 60s. But now the awkward part, my father in law told me not to bring anybody else up there just yet, he doesn't want to get off on a bad foot with the new owner. I'm probably going to save this place as a go to when all else fails. I really want to share this spot with some people but l don't want to get the boot in the process, puts me in a crappy situation!!!!! I think im gonna get to know the new owners a bit more, and try to win them over so I can share this spot with others, but for now im gonna keep it as a go to spot when im frustrated, or when my family and I spend time up the camper with my father in law....

ok long story over, thanks for looking and hh!!!!

Great day when silver shows up!!
Better day when you know there's still more there for another day. Nothing wrong at all about keeping a place for yourself.
Good Luck there on future hunts!!

Finding a spot like that is exciting! You did really well, and I'd bet there's more silver there. Good idea to appease the owners with a token of gratitude, it usually goes a long way!

Looks like a it's gonna turn out to be a great site. That's a handful of goodies that says there got to be silver there. I agree with others. There is nothing wrong with having a spot all to yourself.

Thanks Will, that's gonna be the go too site for them quick hunts when all else fails

I just scratched the surface there, literally, wheats at 2-3 inches and I didn't grid any area whatsoever, just randomly walked around, everywhere I stopped and slowed down I was getting hits, very exciting!!
