Old general store produces big amounts of silver!!!!

[cryptodave]

First, let me say that I'll get the pics up eventually... After that, let me say that this was an absolute dream day! I have never had a virgin site, especially one that produced like this! Also, let me say that all these finds were within a 1 and 1/2 hour window!
The finds were all within a tight 8 by 8 area.

1877 seated liberty quarter CC
1877 seated liberty dime
1885 seated liberty dime
1870 canadian dime
? canadian dime (silver, looks to be the same design as the 1870)
1856 seated liberty half dime
? capped bust dime (front is worn almost completely gone, back is still identifiable)
1903 Barber dime (newest coin I found here)

Also found was two indian head pennies 1885 and 1890
Two nickels that are totally unidentifiable
one 2 cent that is unidentifiable. If I did not have a 2 cent already to compare it to, I would never have known what it is.

I will be going back to this site today... the only bad part is the big producing area is in between a power line and a phone line, relatively close to the road... All that put together causes some serious interference on the ol' Explorer... Plus there is poison ivy everywhere! BUT!!!! To me, its worth it!

It was huge....real long....big.....ugly.....glared at me with an evil grin.....I was frozen in my tracks, could not move and Rowdy was on the other side of path, just metal detecting away like he had no worries, while I was faced with danger of that huge, gigantic black snake!!!!!!!!!!

It was horrible, but I lived through it!

Maybe by the time we get back, he'll be all grown up! If you run into him again, lemme know, I'll be happy to catch him so's you can make a proper acquaintance!

I live 20 minutes from you. Just come on over. I have a digital camera at the house and a brand new Dell w/ Dual Core Processor if you need help posting your pics.

 

[Goldiver]

Nice, that is what treasure hunting is all about!

 

[Jobey1]

Are you kidding me? I'll probably never find even one coin close to being that old. You people make me sick with all your good finds. JKing but not LOL.

 

[tymcmurray]

It's probably already been said, but, GREAT HUNT!!
