Awesome! My dad lives outside of San Antonio and hasn't found anything but garbage. I have to plan a trip out there to show him out to do it right. Gotta be good stuff waiting under the ground for him.

Nice digging buddy ..This may be a dumb question, What makes some of your silver coins blackend? Of the ones ive dug all looked normal [silver] except 1 that was pretty much white or an egg shell color ,this was a Mercury dime found in a lake . Good luck this month too . Davers

The black ones have been underwater. The lakes are down so I'm hunting the shoreline.
