Three Silver Spill

[Route66]

I've not been very active lately because it has been so hot here in the south. Today was a perfect day so I went to a small town, here in Alabama, where I had some luck before and I got permission from a really nice old gentleman to detect his yard. His house was built (c) 1920.

I immediately started getting a few Wheaties so that made me think that silver was possible. After about an hour, I got a high tone and when I opened up the hole the Walking Liberty Half, the Roosevelt Dime and the silver War Nickel were in the same hole. I ended up finding two Merc's to go along with them. I still have most of the back yard to detect and he said I could come back anytime .. even if he's not home. He even went to Chick-Fil-A and brought me back lunch! Of course I sat on his front porch, earlier, and talked to him for about an hour. You meet a lot of nice people when you knock on doors. I very seldom get a sour puss. Maybe it's a southern thing

Man, those are some great finds. Old people are the best. They don't give a **** about someone digging in the grass. They're too old to care. Nice finds!

 

[dirtlooter]

Awesome on all accounts. taking a little time to visit sure paid off big time

 

[Old Dude]

Great finds. Not very often a silver spill is posted.

Hey 66, you canNOT beat a great day such as that!! Multiple silvers, lunch, a new site AND you made a friend! That's a win win win win. We were 1 for 2 on permissions last weekend, one woman answered the door and was talking through the glass door, couldn't hear a word she said...but we did understand the head wagging back and forth. Congrats on your big day, relish it, remember it...we don't get many days like that. Ddf.

Nice hunt!

Excellent hunt. I think that man was the exception rather than the rule. Just letting you look around his yard was great, but I've never had any homeowner bring me lunch ! It has to be a Southern thing.

That is an impressive find for one day and nice of you to pay attention to an elderly man was he a veteran?

 

[Joe-Dirt]

Sweet haul, I had a woman buy me and Tnet member Dts52 lunch while we detected her mom’s yard last week and we definitely made a new friend.

Great silver haul with a big one included, the owner sounds like a standup guy, good for taking the extra time to sit & visit, congrats on all
