Great Job on that Video! and Congrats on your haul of Silver!

I think it's very worthwhile to expand your search area and maybe pull some more goodies out?

As you find more silver I would avoid the instant gratification to check the date on your coins you might have a rare coin you scratch up. A pill bottle with cotton is the place to store those potential rare coins until you can wash them off, carefully at home.

Of course I've yet to find a rare coin but one never knows.

I carry one around, I just forget to use it haha
 
awesome finds...loved the video! keep up the great work.
 
A sweet spot to detect! congrats
 
Congrats on your finding first silver quarter and the other silver too! At todays price of silver, that 80 cents face value has a value of about $20.00! When you go back try searching small areas in a grid so you don't miss any spots.
 
Awesome finds Nick and sweet video!! I've tried detecting around some older tennis courts and I swear a dug up about 100 pop tops for tennis ball containers...
 
Cool finds nick, But you should get into the habit of NOT rubbing the dirt off your Silver coins, If the Merc. had been a 1916D you would have devalued it with the scratches from rubbing the dirt off. .... Great place to hunt keep up the good work and video's. HH
 
Yeah I might just try that. Heres a picture of the whole area:

I metal detected and dug up every signal except iron and foil, I only dug up 3 or 4 pulltabs the first day and the rest was a handfull of clad + the silver.
