I was able to get out to a Phoenix park for a 7 hour hunt. Man what a lot of digging for this old man!. I recovered 135 clad coins along with 5 Wheat pennies from 1918 to 1957. Also was able to dig 2 silver dimes, 1957 Rosie and an 1875 Seated Liberty dime that has seen much better days. This park has continued to produce silver coins. Three on the last hunt at this location and two on this one.

Thanks for looking and keep on swinging.

Nice finds Johncoho! Thanks for sharing...
 
Very nice! We're there any spills, or does each coin represent a hole dug? Either way, that looks like it was a fun day!
 
I'd be thrilled with that seated dime! One coin that is eluding my coil!

Congratulations, I think anything 1800's out West is impressive.
 
Good location. If it is producing wheat and old Silver, I would keep hitting it.
Congratulations on your finds.
 
Now we're metal detecting.:thumbsup: Congrats.
 
Congrats on your silvers. At least you can identify it as a Seated coin.
 
Heck of a marathon hunt. I think 4 hours is my longest. Good job saving the Seated dime. Congrats!

There were 2 spills about one foot apart that gave up over 40 coins, mostly quarters, dimes and nickels. The rest were mostly single coins.
 
Great hunt, congratulations! :occasion14:

The trouble with silver out here in my area is they come out of the ground with a heavy black-grey crust that conceals what they are until you do some cleaning.
 
Long hunt lots of digging but well worth it . As we all can see !
 
congrats on the excellent find plus the hundreds of holes dug! Seated are a treasure no matter the condition but at least you could both ID and get a date
 
That old lady may be a little beat up, but she is still a beauty! Well done!
 
Wow, nice perseverance on your marathon hunt! That Seated dime seems kind of out of place with the age of the other coins. Strange. Nice going!
 
Good location. If it is producing wheat and old Silver, I would keep hitting it.
Congratulations on your finds.

I will keep on the same park. There has to be more there. It may have to wait a month as the wife and I leave for Australia and New Zealand on Monday.
