Five silver day from the Drive Inn.....

[Corinth1812]

Been hunting this local drive in theatre quite a bit lately, and it has been producing. My old man (ILSeeker) and i are kind of having a contest to see who can get the most silver this year, so we decided to spend a couple of hours at it today. I almost tied him, with these 5 but he pulled two mercs in the last hour to pull ahead 29 to 27....But im gaining and it wont be long till im in the lead, (i hope). Three more rosies a merc and a 1943-s war nickel, and 21 wheat pennies to boot. Overall i pulled 102 coins out of there today, weaving in and out of the gobs of pull tabs and pop tops, the only reason a dug the war nickle is because it sounded like a penny, not a nickle or i wouldnt have bothered, there is so much trash at this place you would dig 1000 pull tabs for every one nickle.

Nice going!
Way to find them keepers in the middle of all that trash. That spot will produce forever.
Have fun!

Nice finds - I had to laugh a bit, because drive-in silver always seems to look the same - REALLY scratched up! I have some that look just like that
