I've been stuck in the house for a few days with an ill wife. Yesterday morning she said she felt much better. I said "See ya!".
Went to a little Sierra town with a lead on a possible property to hunt. It didn't pan out, but it was an hour drive to get there, so I started looking around.
I noticed these old RR tracks that looked like they were abandoned long ago so I started looking.
Started hitting good targets right away, then...BANG! Big chunk of silver!
1940-s
It was only 2-3 inches deep in the track bed
riprap right here.
Ended up with 6 wheat cents also;
1918
1918-d
1919
1926
1929-s
1946
How on earth does this happen?
Good fun on an outing that started out bad!
Even better day today, on my 65th birthday, with renewed hope for my wonderful country!
