So things have been slowing down with silver coins and places to hunt them lately. My Hunting buddy and I decided to start trying to do a little Gold hunting on some sports fields

I'm not really into jewelry hunting much, but Im also not into hunting places where I get MAYBE 2 good targets a whole day out.

So we met up and hunting the hell out of some football fields...The weather was great, so i didnt mind digging all those pulltabs and can slaw in hopes for some Shiney GOLD!


Sooo, here are my finds...lol

1956 Rosie
1957 Rosie
1900 V Nickel
Silver Ring
Silver Necklace


Its funny how I had no intentions on find silver ANYTHING, yet When I go out specifically to find gold...All I find is Silver..lol

Thanks for looking!

Great finds. I really like that chain. The silver Gods were smiling upon you.

I've been hunting some soccer fields myself lately specifically in search of gold. I've been digging trash like crazy but it did pay off. Got gold and silver and lotsa' nickels.

I don't know about you but I get tired of hunting in the same way for too long. I LOVE finding gold and silver jewelry but I also love old coins, even if they're in bad shape; especially silver (those elusive gold coins would be even better but that hasn't happened yet).

So I like to mix it up to keep things fresh. It seems when I'm happy and excited about a hunt I tend to do better and get more and better surprises.

In your case, you went after gold and found some really nice silver. There's nothing wrong with that at all. You should now set the intention for even more silver and maybe some gold will show up.

Congrats.
