I organized a group of 10-15 experienced hunters and we are taking a year-long tour of parks in the U.S. where old coins are hiding. We will be flying to these parks as the year goes on and as we have time to hunt. We will be in several parks in most states in the eastern half of the U.S. We may even be in your home town.
Our goal is to recover 2,500 silver coins during that year and at this point now it looks like that will happen. We just got back from our trial trip to Indianapolis where we hunted the best parks. My buddy John did the research on those parks very well and now we have some finds to show. We only stayed one night and then got up and hunted all the next day. One or two people drove in for the hunt. There were only 10 people that could make the first trip but thats ok because we will have more. I told them that it was a trial hunt to see if we could break 2,000 silvers this year. We ended up with 43 silvers between us all. We got a few pieces of jewelry and I got a nice big silver ring. One of my buddies got the oldest silver which was a beat up blackened 1877 CC mintmark seated dime. He might take some baking soda and polish it up. I ended up with the most silvers, 9 silvers, but one of them was a nice condition 1914 D Barber with a case of acne. We got a lot of deep wheat pennies and some indians too mixed in. Not too many nickels because we did not want to waste time digging mid range targets and foil crap. We are going to keep hunting this year. If you have any parks you would like to share, please post youre ideas here in this post. If not then I will trust my friends research. He certainly did good this time. Been a long time since I have seen this many silvers dug in one day. I am sorry for the bad photos. We cleaned finds as fast as possible to take the photos and the guys were in a hurry to head out after the hunt was over. Here are the photos.
