Struck Silver in San Francisco today and previous hunts too

[Cal_Cobra]

After getting silver skunked at GGP Saturday, I decided to try another place on Sunday in San Francisco I've been wanting to hunt for a while. Got there early in the morning (was nice, nobody around) and my 3rd signal was a nice merc. Ten minutes later another merc, then 20 minutes later a barber Half hour later another merc I thought it was going to be one of those legendary days of days gone past that I've only heard about (but dream about often), but after an hour of hunting and four silvers, that was it. Spent another two hours looking for more silver, and got one wheat and the usual suspects. Also got an old (and very rough) Victorian match safe, found the body of it, and then a few feet away got the top. It was silver plated at one time, but it's glory days are long gone. A few other what's it's and what nots, marbles (one from Saturday), dog tag from TX, guess rover was on a city by the bay excursion What was really odd is that I only found one wheatback :shrug: Why can't my normal wheat to silver ratio be 4:1

Coins: 1899 barber, two 1917 mercs, 1936 merc, and 1919 wheatback:

Past few weeks hunts:

Thanks everyone, it's a lot of work, but so much fun when the goodies come to light

Nice hunts, the 1900 Barber is looking good.

Pepper that 1900 barber was really nice, fully liberty on the headband, just wish it would've been a key date

Here's a better pic of it, just out of curiosity any idea what it would grade as?

HH,

PS - I didn't think anything of that old key in the first photo, but just checked it under a loupe to see what the lettering is and it's marked "FORD" ...cool...anyone have any idea how old the jey is I haven't seen a Ford key like that before, but I only know my Fords to the 1960's
