Silver hates me

kevin11 · Apr 8, 2009

Went to a old gas station site today,Found one dime and eight pennies one was a 1957 D wheat all the other coins were dated in the low sixties.Also found a cap of some kind and a old padlock and a cotting torch tip.Then went to a site that used to be a football field back in the forties and fifties,Three quarters, two dimes and twenty five pennies Seems like everyone else is finding cool coins and I'm being left in the dust.Silver hates me.Thanks for looking at my meager finds.

If that dime was 64 or prior then ya got silver.

Besides I know silver and it told me that it does not have anything against you per se,

Ya just got to swing a little more often and in researched places, Not me talking ya understand, I am just relaying what Silver said. :tongue3:

Anyhow Nice Finds :thumbsup:

I feel for you. I dug up over $400.00 in clad, and not one silver coin. Then by a miracle I got a 1954 Franklin half dollar. Stupid me, dug my little hole, and got it with the digger >:(

My lesson was dig a bigger plug, you never know what's waiting to come out. To top it off, the park was newer, from the 80's. Guess somebody lost their lucky coin.
Haven't dug another silver since, est 3 months. I'm slowly getting enough courage to ask permission from owners of old houses- this is where you will score. Good luck.

Dude don't even worry about it, I'd say probably close to 90% of my hunts I don't reel in any keepers but every once in a while I have a good day. Just got to get out tomorrow and keep trying

Older front yards rule. THEY RULE!

It looks like your Model T radiator cap is in pretty good shape.

Stay at it, your day will come. Even I haven't found any silver coins yet this year, but have found three silver rings, one gold one, and 5 misc. pieces of silver jewelry. And, all I'm hunting is parks and school grounds, so it's there. Just go find it. :thumbsup:
