San Rafael/ Larkspur Ca area silver

[rjsupersonic]

Ok this may be worth looking for if you are a local from the area. I was about 11 or 12 years old living near larkspur(1966-69) and one of the local kids stole a large amount of silver coins from his grandmother. I believe they were halves and dollars. The kid spent a good amount at a local toy store and didn't want to take the coins home. I was with him under a overpass when he just started throwing them around the area. I think I located the overpass on google maps and it would be worth a quick check with a detector. I believe the intersection is at Wornum Dr and Hwy 101. I can't find a map of that period but I think there used to be RR tracks going under 101 back then and I am sure lots of new construction has change it but google maps shows plenty of dirt and older trees around the overpass, anyway a bit of a long shot but if someone lives nearby have at it. I would guess that there were at least 40 coins tossed about. I would appreciate any info on results. Email me if you need more info.

I went over to the area and hunted it for about 2 hours. Nothing but trash. My guess is that major changes have taken place in the area since 1968.
Silver coins might be 5 feet deep after the freeway widening projects back in the 1970's. Pics below...

Hey Mike, thanks again for the great effort, sorry it didn't pan out. I think you are right probably several feet of fill-dirt over them by now. I appreciate the pics.

Thanks, Ray
