Coins from the last century

And they are. Way out in the woods over by Leadville I hit on a 1940D mercury. I went into Hi-Pro mode and dug everything, and came up with a 57D Jefferson, 45D and 57D Lincolns, and lots of bullets and cartridges. Just a strange little spot with no indication of anything ever being there in the past. Not real impressive, but I'm happy with anything as old as or older than me. I was hoping for an earlier era, given the area I was in.

WTG on the silver and wheaties Did you do any research on the Leadville area before the hunt that made you think there would be much older finds?

Nice finds was this an old prospecting sight?

There's a mine up the hill, MG, but I don't believe this site was related to the mining era. I believe there was probably a house site there circa 1930-50. There's not much to indicate anything. Two or three holes and a couple of levelled spots. I don't have room to tell you all about Leadville CO here Spartacus53, but if you want to google it, you'll be thinking about how soon you can load up your detector and head there.

Not too shabby Rginn for there. You are right. Hey, Why are you not getting that gold? Leadville is a good spot. Leadville is an awesome historic town.
