Found Some Silver in the Back Yard!!

[madfranks]

I don't post often anymore - with two young children, one 2.5 yrs and one 2 months I almost never get out of the house!!! But I enjoy lurking and reading what others are finding. However, this week we've been working our back yard to prepare it for new grass seed. We rented a tiller and ran it through the whole yard. Our home was built in the 50's, so I knew there was probably something good out there. I took the MD out this morning over the freshly tilled ground, and found two silver rosevelts and one wheat cent. Three other copper cents and three zinc cents partially eaten up by the soil. Nice to find some silver!

Nice finds, your copper looks the way mine come out of the ground around here, very rough.. Great silver though, thank God the ground doesnt eat them up too!

Silver is always good!!! Even better when you only have to walk out the back door to find it!

Congrats!

Good for you. I know how hard it is with the kids. I have 2 boys of my own. 8 and 2 years old, almost impossible.
