Median Strip in San Francisco Gave Up 3 More Silvers Today!

[Cool Hand Fluke]

It's the median strip that keeps on giving! Today I dug out 3 more silver coins! A 1952 silver quarter, 39-D and 43-P mercury dimes! Also dug out 4 more wheaties and a old brass padlock. So it was another great day! Again the copper tubing was abundant! I must have dug out another 3 pounds of it! In three hours worth of hunting I only found 12 coins, but I rather have quality than quantity!

I wouldn't think you would have that much competition in SF.

You would be surprised, there are people that pound the same SF spots over and over and over and over. Even if you share your spot with someone in confidence, someone always blabs about it. The best way to keep 'em secret is to keep your mouth shut

Silver usually comes out of the ground nice around here, but sometimes it has funk, might be because we're close to the ocean, or some other mineralization or chemical reaction (or fire). One never knows.

If you look closely, I think the lock says Superb. Just my thoughts.

I second that. It looks like "superb"

Was that critter that came out of the ground a mole cricket?

Got this from wikpedia:

Jerusalem crickets, also called "potato bugs" are a group of large, flightless insects of the genus Stenopelmatus. They are native to the western United States and parts of Mexico.

Despite their names, Jerusalem crickets are a distinct lineage within the Orthoptera, separate from crickets (eg Gryillidae), are not native to Jerusalem, and they do not prefer potatoes for food. Active usually at night, the insects use their strong mandibles to feed primarily on dead organic material but can also eat other insects.[2] Their highly adapted feet are used for burrowing beneath moist soil to feed on decaying root plants and tubers

If that bug was down here in Georgia, He'd be a mashed potato bug and very quickly too. Nice finds.
