Silver Yesterday and Silver Today!

[Cool Hand Fluke]

Went back to the median strip in S.F. and hunted it for about 2 hours with two hunting friends. Pulled out another large amount of copper tubing, might be 5 pounds worth. Only dug up one silver dime , two wheat pennies, and a few clads. Hunting partners only found some clad. I wanted to stay and hunt longer, but my two partners wanted to leave and hunt one of the many San Francisco parks.

Today I hunted one of those empty lots where they tore down a old house. Managed to dig out 7 wheat pennies and a mercury dime on the front, side, and back yards. My hunting partner Andy dug out 5 wheat pennies. Also dug up four foreign coins. My clad total for the two days was a little over $ 8.00.

that's some real digging ya'll did - hope you didn't pull out the city's irrigation system .

interesting choice of sites. Thanks so much for the pictures, such quality shots are a pleasure to view, and it takes time to shoot them and post them. I've been a little leery of posting fotos of my successful sites, though i will one day, it's silly to worry about someone poaching them, but...i do.

Not really sure what the copper tubing was used for? There was probably over a hundred pieces buried over a 500 foot long area. Is quarter inch tubing used for irrigation? Several guys have mentioned that fill dirt was brought in and spread out?

Silver always makes the day better! Nice finds. By the way, is it just me or does the lady on the One Centavos 1955 look like a zombie?
