Hunted curbs all day, and boy did it PAY OFF BIG TIME!

[Goes4ever]

was running out of places to hunt so I suggested to Denny (kozyman) that we would hunt curbs today, he agreed, so glad he did

first curb we did he got a wheat and a 1923 merc. I got 4 wheats, and the silver ring. Next curb was clad for both of us.......then we came across this old house with a new sidewalk in front, dirt was still churned up all over along sidewalk, we pulled over and started to hunt.

Denny got a 1906, and 1907 barber dimes, then I got the 1937 buffalo, wheats were here and there. I found the crucifix, the keys, odds and ends. Then 1" down out popped the awesome shape 1887 indian.

I finally got a silver for the day and it was a decent shape merc dime, I could not read the date as I never rub silver coins, so I put it in my little bottle of water and continued hunting. When we were all down I opened my bottle of water and took out the merc dime, I saw the date.....1916
my heart started pumping, I slowly flipped the coin over and saw a mintmark .......I about fainted....lol

I looked real close and it was an "S"...........NO...NO!!!!!!!
Oh so close, and it is in great shape too!

Denny also got a 1943 walking liberty half dollar, it was a great day for both of us! everything below is my finds

Some awesome looking oldies for curb hunting. In my area the road salt would have eaten that IH away. The nickel wouldn't have looked very good either. Congrats Hogge

Your coins are in great shape, especially the IH. The soil here eats coins up and spits them out ragged.

Do you just hunt the curb or do you have permission from homeowners?
Is the area city property?...I can't imagine being allowed to do that here in San Antonio.

 

[Goes4ever]

in my town that area is owned by the city
