Yet another INSANE day. We did our research and found another very very good site! 21 coins in total! I got all the silver coins except for the 1845 dime and the trime. My friend scored 9 coppers and I got 6. He also found a mass militia cuff button, ramrod guide and a lock cover. I found a little brass lock also. Many firsts for me on this hunt! A beautiful 1835 capped bust dime and a 1826 Mexican half real! We are going back tomorrow! I cannot believe how fortunate we have been. Again, research is key! I haven't even cleaned the coppers yet. I am so over the moon with my first capped bust dime. These sites are still out there!

That’s a great hunt. Virgin sites are very difficult to come by and I’m happy you fellas are on a couple. The silver to large copper ratio is incredible as well. I average 20:1.

Good luck tomorrow.

Now that is one awesome looking piece of silver. Congrats. I would go over that place several more times. I’m sure you’ll find more great coins like those.
