This week's finds, 17 silvers etc.

This past week I found a virgin site where I dug 11 silvers, mostly Roosies and war nickels. I dug the usual clad and wheats as well. I also hit some well hunted sites and came away with 6 silvers, 1904 injun and 2 dozen wheats. One of my finds was a coin spill that had to have been walked over and passed up as modern junk more than once. I had decided to set my detector to iron reject only and dig everything that locked on. I heard the loud shallow signal in a very clad infested area and thought, ho hum, but when I flipped the sod back I was shocked to see multiple coins including a silver quarter.....and it wasn't a Washington. There, only 3 inches down was a 1915-D barber quarter stuck to a 1920 buffalo nickel and below that was a nice 1934 Washington and a wheat penny. The other cool find of the day was another coal scatter tag. These thin alluminum discs give a great nickel reading on the Fisher CZ. When I finally washed it off I was shocked to see "Black Star washed coal"..............the mine my grandpa worked at. Thanks Manny, Doug and Mark for taking me out detecting.

I'd say that was an awesome hunt, Steve. I could on dream of finding that much silver in one hunt. And the coins are some oldies, too That blk star mine tag should be a prize find as it relates to your family. Continued sucess at that place. Ron
