41 Coins, 2 Silver, in Friend's Yard

I went to a get together with some friends tonight and after supper I was asked some questions about metal detecting. Of course I had mine with me, and decided to show the guys how it worked. I worked a pattern through my friend's yard and he even did all of the digging for me. After doing about 1/3 of the yard, I came away with 8 clad quarters, 4 clad dimes, 5 jefferson nickels, 12 wheat cents, 10 memorial cents and the two silvers, a 1945 washington quarter and a 1936 D Mercury Dime. We definitely could have found some more but the daylight came to an end. My friend is talking about buying a detector now so I may have a new hunting partner!! Hope you enjoy the picture and Happy Hunting!!

Looking at alot of those coins, i feel sorry because it looks like many of them are flirting with the Silver years, but not quite. A few there i guess right.

Nice Hunting, and did you tell your friend thank you..... Hehe

Yes, there are some there that are very very close and once I started picking up the wheaties I was hoping i would nab a silver. Surprisingly, I got both the silver at only 2 inches underneath an apple tree. I for sure thanked my buddy, but since he is determined to buy a detector, I gave him full permission to hunt the rest of his yard!! lol!!

Its amazing how much change you can find in certain yards. I had a yard like that when I first started detecting, got 50 some wheats, some silver, and countless clad out of it. Needless to say my yard looked like the moon for half the summer. Being that much change im bettin there is alot of relics and maybe some jewelry. I found 3 rings and a necklace in that yard and an old sandbox 2 feet down...wow i remember I did an archeological dig on that one...think my wife got madd Good luck on your next dig
