ok - so here's the story - i've gone to decent size farm now easily 15 times now and have found NOTHING - it's one of those places that you know there are coins there - everything is just right for it 150+ years old, it has a little store that's been around for 80 years, old historic farm house - lots of grass and old trees ... but again i hadn't found anything at all except a few wheats here and there from the 50's

so i go back again sunday morning for about 1-1/2 hours and hunt the few spots that i hadn't covered yet ... and BAM, within a 10ft area by a big tree in the front yard i pulled 8 silver coins, a dateless buffalo and a bunch of wheats - man was i happy !!!!

goes to show ya, ya just never know !

thanks for looking

Excellent silver! Kudos on this hunt--I'm sure it was a blast to see so much silver. Hit it again, and let us know what else you find. People sure loved sitting under those old trees, I guess.

Alright, way to stay after it. Been in that situation myself, you just know there must be something there, but where? Way to ride out the storm.

Very nice display of silverage, VP!!!

I bet you're glad you didn't give up on that place. Many would have if they didn't find something after a few trips.

Now I bet you'll go back at least another 15 times... ;D
