I only had about 30 mins to hunt so I ran down to the high school. I have hunted it before and it's loaded with clad and foil but I decided to only dig 12-45 and higher that we're at least 5 inches and 12-20 and lower for rings. Well I head for the older looking dirt on the one side and started swinging. 5 min later I got a slamming hit 3 inches but I had to dig it because it was so good. Well out came a 1897 barber quarter I didn't expect that It looked funny like it was stacked on another coin. I check the hole and bam another hit and a 42 walker half came out but the mark on the quarter didn't match I checked the hole again and holy poop another barber quarter 1898 we'll that was it in the hole and I'm happy. I did dig some clad about 2 bucks worth. And a fist full of foil.

Scouts out!

Yeah I saw the mark and I knew there was more. I have to say this is the darkest silver I have dug I think they may have used some kind of fertilizer on the grass or some thing.

I know I wouldn't have thought that mix would happen. you can tell the quarters were around for awhile they are almost worn smooth.

Doesn't get much better than that! :treasurechest: :occasion14: :headbang::headbang::headbang:
 

Yeeesss! Silver in your hand! :icon_thumleft:
 

Nice! I found a silver Rosie sitting on top of two clad quarters once...not nearly as good as your find though! Awesome hit! Congrats!
