Big Silver From the Curb strip, Semi Key Date!!

[JackalopeZL1]

What a awesome day of detecting for me!

Started out the day at the Park that I found the 1892 s Barber dime a few weeks ago. Spent a good 4 hrs there, put a couple hrs on the deus till it drove me nuts, But I did find a 1912 s wheat which is a semi key date but it is pretty toasted. After I went back to my CTX I was able to sniff out a Cherry 1920 s Merc, And of course it was under a root and I scratched it..lol Finally got tired of being there and needed lunch So I left

I almost went home since my knee was bugging me but the curb strips were calling my name

I ended up hunting the curb strips for 1.5 hrs and Killed in IMO. I found 5 or 6 wheats right off the get go, then the 2 other mercs. Rounded the corner and started the next curb strip and didn't get much. Almost left again, But I looked across the street and figured I would hit the curb strip across the street then go home. I found a few more wheats and then got a rocking 01/44 signal about 7 inches deep. I wasn't thinking it was going to be a coin since there was a bunch of conduits deep I had been struggling with in this strip. But Boom out popped this first year Walker!!!!!!!!!!!! 1916 S Walking liberty Half!!!!! This is my 6th walker but the first early one and a semi Key date !! Don't give up on those curb strips, there is still stuff in them

Some of my best old coins have been found on old curb strips, especially right next to an old sidewalk. Many of the best silvers I have found were vertical on edge right against the old sidewalk several inches down. I always hunt the edge of the sidewalk slowly. Congrats on those finds, especially that big ol silver.

Yes indeed, I do the same. Seems like when they are right next to the concrete they don't go as deep either, plus people sit on the edge and the goodies fall out of their pockets. At least my theory

I'd be very stoked with those dates, four silvers and two semi key dates, great day indeed.

Awesome day of hunting, nothing brings a smile to your face like BIG SILVER - CONGRATS!!

Some of my best finds have been when I was about to hang it up for the day, and decided to keep going, oh and of course the infamous trip back to the car - LMAO!!
