While walking a clear cut I saw this coin shining on the ground and thought that one of the dozer operators had lost it.
When I picked it up what a pleasant suprise it was old silver.

Very cool, my buddy found a IH on top of the grass a few months ago. :thumbsup:
 
I can't believe it "dugit". What a find. I bet that won't happen again anytime
soon. Congratulations. That is super neat. Doug (blklab) :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
 
Was it just after a recent rain? Some times the coins are exposed to the surface after bulldozing but they are dirty and hard to see but then it rains which cleans it off so it is easier to spot. Great surface find...my only Barber Quarter was also a surface find.

can't beat that. :thumbsup:
 
Wow!! Great eye find!!

If that coin had the "S" mintmark, it would have been worth thousands!!

Hey,
Get out there and swing your coil!
Is this an area being cleared for new construction?

If they are rolling over the ground it may be one of the best hunts you will ever have.

Good Luck,
Mark

Who knew that drunken bulldozer professionals were good for such loot?
