tiny spot gives up a little loot

[moonshine]

i stumbled onto a tiny spot, one of those days where after a while im thinking why am i here, theres nothing here.....to, wild horses couldnt drag me away.

what i belive it is, is, theres a small ravine where there is some very old junk, an old dumping area. lots of old garbage. and where i found the loot is, on top of the ravine, a small flat area where some old farmer might have pulled off his old truck and unloaded the trash. at least thats what i envision. all the loot came from a small area right where someone would pull off the side of the road and back in a ways. now its all weeds and small trees, i was moving fallen branches around so i could swing. kinda tough searching.

i know its a sorry pic but i found 11 wheats and one war nickel, my second silver coin for the year. no other (modern) coins were found. i plan on going back, i know theres got to be at least one more silver coin there!

That many wheats and a silver war nickel!!--yeah you better go back. Out here in good ole rainy Oregon I find pennies all the time. Sometimes I think my Tesoro is not working right because all I find is pennies. I would not mind so much if I could find a few wheat pennies.

Oh I do not really mind--at least I am not getting skunked.

Looks like you may have a nice little site there.

well i went back today and to my suprise i did find a silver coin along with 10 more wheats! woohoo! one hole had the dime with about 4 wheats right in the same hole or immediate area. no modern coins at all. there was some other assorted items which didnt make the pic, which isnt very pretty but you get the idea.

thats 21 wheats in that little area in two trips....not bad, for me! mostly late 30's and 40's dates.

What !

Are you kidding me, you have a prime site there. Aside from all the trash you'll have to get around. When people dump stuff that's when coinage falls out the most. Out of cars when people get out, out of drawers, cabinets, couches and other furnature and things they trow away. People throw out purses wallets, jewelry boxes etc. They did in the past and they do it today. I would hit that pull in area you found all over top to bottom left to right. You'll pull out more silver out yet.

Keep @ it and HH!!
