Finally-my first big silver (X 2)

[fistfulladirt]

Today I hunted a new spot, farmhouse front yard. The owner tried to direct me to the side of the property about a hundred yards away where they found a plowed-up Morgan dollar.
He told me that years ago hogs and chickens roamed the front yard, and probably lots of junk buried. He went off to do work in the barn, so I decided to hit the front first.
I walked no more than five steps into the yard and my first hit was silver. After that, a wheat. Lots of wheats in this yard, no new coins. Ten feet away, another large silver hit. I thanked him after an hour and headed home for chores.

Wheats were all from the mid 40's to 50's, I suspect maybe dirt was moved around as there were no signals beyond 4-5" deep. FFD

Great finds. It is possible that the dirt was not moved around as I often find the coins from that era in the depths you are finding them. The early 1900 coins seem to be in the 6-8" range and the late 1800 coins tend to be in depths of 8" plus. There are always exceptions though as I have found late 1800 coins in less than 2" depths before. Great work and keep working that yard over.
