Hi Folks
Hope all are well over here.

A couple of days ago I had a seven silver day at one of my permissions.

I didn't realize at the time that this was a part of a much larger spill of coins...

Today I went back to the same area and well.. It was epic, and I don't use that word...

There were Walker and Franklin Halves, Buffalo's and Jefferson's, Wheats, Roosevelt's, Mercury's, slq's and Washingtons and about five pieces of clad...

I did some facebook live videos if you would like to check them out
( I fixed the links this morning, perhaps the original link was too long... They go to my facebook live video)
First half of the spill..

and then my logging friend used his skidder to move away some of the debris and rocks above and I discovered more..

That must of been fun, Did you try another scrape with your buddies skidder? I'd bet there are a few more hiding in there. Your video links are not working?
Links should work now. Thanks for letting me know. No more scrapes yet finges crossed.

Thanks, I haven't found a container they were in yet. They were only four to five inches.

Amazing haul of silver!! Banner vote here and good luck I bet you find some more.
 

I sure do like seen old caches. You hit it out of the park.. Congrats
 

Fantastic! What’s with the zinc Lincolns... seems odd?
Thanks.. Not Zincolns, they were 1966's. That was the latest date of any of the coins
 

Dang that’s a helluva day or two. Banner vote just went in. I know I would freak out. Congrats
 

Big congrats. That is an epic find in my book.

Well done sir.
 

Awesome find! Congratulations!
 

That IS awesome! Worth much more today than it was 51 years ago...It's what we all look for...a hand full of silver or gold!! 8-)
Tell us a little more GKman.
