Under clothes lines.

 

[medicstone1982]

Good idea...hope I can find it

 

[medicstone1982]

The two dollars 1889 and 1900 were under the old clothes line. .. The others were to the left of an old sidewalk....it was a good 3 hrs!!! I'll be going back there soon

Two silver dollars! I'd be back there hunting too! Good Job!

 

[medicstone1982]

Ty.... is the best I've ever done in one hunt. .. is my great grandfather's old house

 

[CladGrabber]

You killed it! Way to go!

 

[medicstone1982]

Thanks. .. Going back next weekend when I have more time

 

[BigWaveDave]

wow, good job by you!

 

[cudamark]

Any mint marks on those dollars? You might have made a better find than you think!

 

[medicstone1982]

I was hoping Carson City but no such luck.... No mint mark so I'm assuming philly

Buy a test kit and you can test your gold and silver finds. Or you can set it on a piece of ice and always wonder if it's really silver or not.
