I was looking for Civil War spots on the maps when I stumbled on a spot that was perfect for some coin shooting. I went to try it out Wednesday evening and it did not disappoint with Mercs and Washingtons. I found 8 silver coins in about 4 hours that night. I was looking forward to getting back there and was able to hunt it for a couple more hours Friday. My very first signal sounded like a silver quarter on the Etrac but out popped a coin that looked more like a clad quarter. I was surprised when I picked it up to see it was a thick green coin and I wet it enough to see the little details left of a worn large cent! I haven't dug a Largie in a long time. I went back to digging and got three more silver dimes and a nice sterling ring. The whole time I was thinking there is a good chance of finding a silver half here. Well as luck would have it right at dark, I got a screaming 3-46 signal and I knew for sure it would be big silver. Cut the plug and pulled out a nice Walker! I did get a couple of nice dropped CW bullets but it was a lot of fun digging all this silver! Had rain here all day so it was good to clean everything up and do a little more research. HH-David

Thanks! It's a place that had houses on it built in 1950 and were torn down a few years ago. Its pretty much open now and I just went down as many of the front yards as I could.

Wow ok that is awesome. Just found a spot like that kinda. They were built before then and torn down in the 1960s. I have a lot of ground to cover still. Managed a KGIII and Siamese silver on my first go and a pocket watch on my third. Huge congrats on your haul. Ill be getting a AT Pro this week. Hopefully better results after that. THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE LOL

Hey thanks! That's pretty cool on finding the same ring. I've got three girls running around my house that claim all the little rings I find. It's fun seeing them being used again.

Thanks Chris! Yeah every once in a while I luck up on a 1970’s kind of hunt. Man it must have been so awesome to hunt back in the 60’s-80’s...
