11silvers

[xXDiggerXx]

Went out today by an old house and found 2 standing liberty half dollars 3 barber quarters 5 mercury dimes 1 barber dime. I only been at this for about 4 months and I think this will be hard to beat.

Nice going on the silvers, would look great in a single display.

Those coins look very dirty and black, I wonder why?

because they came out of the ground

That is a good day for sure. I once had a day like that early on and said the same thing... this will be hard to beat. But then I got better at this hobby and started getting the gold. Believe me, keep hittin' it and it will get even better! After all that is what keeps us going.

would you guys clean these up or leave them as they are?

Personally, I just clean the dirt off as best I can, but I do not try and shine them up. Some people do, and that's fine. It does reduce the collectible and monetary value, but some people are not into all of that, they just want to display them.

Great haul for one yard-and it will be hard to beat.

What I thought was a barber dime turns out to be a seated liberty dime either 1887 or 1897 hard to tell its pretty worn

I wonder if there is a lot of sulphur in the soil?

Living here in Vegas I would say 70% of my silver coins come out black like this, dont know why. Some come out in HARD packed earth, some sandy and some in rich dark soft dirt. The cleaner ones usually from the sandy. The one thing they all have in common is its almost always hot here. With not a lot of rain.dont know if that makes a huge differance. Anyways great day of hunting. Congratulations.

I always wonderd if the heat here on the differant soil conditions matter?

Got to be 1887... Seated were minted till 1891, and then the Barber followed till 1916...

Yes, that is one amazing haul for one yard(or for even 2 or 3!)! I wish I would've had that kind of luck when I first started...I know it got me a little spoiled though, especially when You for several hours and are lucky to find one silver!
