Another Big Silver in S.F. Median Strip! Semi Key Date Merc! Twin Towers Pin!

[Cool Hand Fluke]

Hit the other side of a median strip in San Francisco that I hunted in a few weeks ago. This part of the strip is really loaded with copper pipe, some of it is 1 inch to 2 feet in length!? It's all over the place along with brass junk. My best coin for the day is a 1941-D Walking Liberty Half! The median strip had just too much broken copper pipe pieces, it was tiring me out. So I drove over to a park and dug up a 1931-S mercury dime on top of a gopher mound! No wheat pennies today?

Way to go on some great silver! By the size of that grass strip it looks like you have a lot more detecting
ahead of you. Good luck, and hopefully there is some gold jewelry waiting up ahead for you.

Congrats,
MM

Boy, talk about eerie & coincidental finding that 9-11 pin Maybe it's a sign, plunk down a few bucks on some lotto tickets I'm always amazed at what you pull out of those strips. Just plain awesome

Great finds

Looks like gophers are your new best freinds. 31 was in awsome condition. Perhaps that 9/11 pin was one that lifted out of the medallion coated with "22 mils of pure gold". With copper being at about $4/lb, perhaps one of your better finds today.

great finds. keep on cleaning that place out

I agree with the others. The more you pull out the copper and brass for recycling, the more silver you're gonna be finding here. Take your time, and come back as often as necessary.
