Since late Octoer I've been hunting some median strips in San Francisco. Over the last 12 weekends I've taken out 55 silver coins and 132 wheat pennies! My last 2 hunts
I dug a 1937-S walking liberty half, a 1910-S barber dime, sterling silver spoon, old toy cap gun, and 16 wheat pennies! My computer crashed back in October so now I can post
pics again with my new computer!

Sweet silver :headbang: Isn't there tons of trash on medians?

You would not believe all the trash! Lots of copper and brass! Tons of of miscellaneous metal trash. I could fill half a garbage can with all the metal trash I've taken out!

That makes finding silver all that more sweet.

I firmly believe the removal of the trash is what allowed you to find so much silver lining. WTG!!!

I had to google it but now l know where you were hunting. (never heard the word before, not one we use here in the UK ) Would not think of searching those areas here but l guess on less busy roads it would be OK . Looks like they are productive for you. Some good coins there. Hutch.
