i meant to word part of that post differently..i meant by meaning they weren't there , meant i would shoot the public area in front of there...not the actual property..gonna go by there maybe they will be there today let me try the rest , not very big area they were digging, just felt lucky this morning...now if i could only have the luck to do that and find a box of money or winning lotto numbers then i wouldbe happy..lol..thanks again..Gregg..

Love finding the good stuff, WTG!!!
Here is a site I use, usually just to try and figure out what coins are rare, and which ones are not.

Not sure how up to date it is, but I think it will give ya a good idea...
I think I read somewhere here on the board that the average silver is going for about 6 times the face value, unless it's rare, or special in some way...
Good luck & Happy hunting~

Gratz on the silver. I would definantly head back for another pass over that spot.

Try from a different direction and really "scrub" around the edges.

Keep it up,
Deadshot
