silver coin

Had a major bucket lister on the weekend. I dug my first Roman silver coin.:hello2: Digging a denarius of any kind has been on the top of my bucket list ever since I moved to Europe over a year ago and I always thought I would never find one given my current luck but even a blind squirrel...

I found this coin in western mainland Europe. I know it's a Roman Denarius but I don't know the emperor. I think it might be Elagabalus but I don't know for sure. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I was literally saying to myself that these were going to be the last rolls I'd get from the bank. I've been very unlucky. I only have found one 1967 silver out of the 70 or so rolls I've hunted. Well! Just after I said that... out popped this guy! Not old, but still silver!

Wow wasn't expecting to pull this out!!! Wasn't that deep, about 5 inches or so. Date is 1929, so that's 91 years old!!! This is my third oldest coin found!!! Now that big of a deal for you veterans but super exciting for me. I'll be going back for sure!!! Maybe on my days off when I get my...

Hello! So last year and this year I've gotten into yard sales. Las year I was only looking for coins and silver and gold. I found a few things. But this year i found out that facebook marketplace is an awesome place to make money fast!!! So I've been hitting those yards sales quite a bit to look...

Today at the metal detection I had an extraordinary surprise, because, after a few hours in which I found a kilogram of bullets and a communist 5 lei coin from 1978, I found two Roman silver coins, republican denarii, one in perfect condition, the other broken into three pieces, which fit...

Went for a little hunt and found this ugly hunky skull ring and a nice silver coin! I wish that the ring was silver or even better gold because it's huge... oh well. Every junk ring you dig helps to keep you going because you never know, the next might be real!!! I've found six rings at this...

I found a nice sliver 1959 dime today! My new detector is finding stuff my other one couldn't. Second silver for this month... two hunts ago I found a 1968 silver quarter. Yes! Yes! Yes! I also found this old cherry coke can that I want to know the age of. I threw it away because it will cut me...

I was 12 yrs old when a 90 yr old woman in Burbank told me a story about stolen gold ,silver and cash never recovered and long forgotten. She drew me a map on the back of an ALPHA BETA supermarket paper shopping bag and I recognized the area she had drawn as this place we used to ride our bmx...

*oFISHally hooked* My first ever coin roll hunt gave me this nice silver '67! Brought home 10 rolls and about 5 were really old rolls so I opened them first. On my third roll I got this guy. Definitely gonna start huntin' the dimes again as soon as I can.

What do you think about this dime? It's weird... it's so shiny like tin foil it almost doesn't seem like it could be silver. That's why it's not clear... too much glare. Also why does it have a hole in it?! Right by the hole it looks like the shiny stuff is chipped... could it be siliver plated...

Found lots of old pennies at the park where I found the two rings... today I found a 1968 silver dime!!! My fourth silver coin of the year!

Was happy to find this nice silver ca. quarter on my lawn! Also found this wheat pennie. Why do people like to collect wheaties? Do they have much value or do people like them just because they are older coins? Would this wheat sell? How about the silver?

I inherited this coin from my great grandmother and I think she bought it in Mexico. I believe that it's made from silver, it's ca. 1.3 inches (3.4cm) wide and ca. 0.1 inch (2.5mm) thick. I couldn't find coins which look like this one online, neither fakes nor originals, and thought that I'd...

Hi, my friends :) Nils found this great silver coin of Wilhelm II., the German Emperor. Lucky guy again :) Frederick William Victor Albert of Prussia was the last German Emperor (Kaiser) and King of Prussia, ruling the German Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia from 15 June 1888 to 9 November...

It was a lovely coin day :) And at the end, it was really awesome! :O :)

https://youtu.be/IM1VVw_n1-c I wanna say some of the clips were lost i was using a new memory card and it was a junky one and i lost almost half of the clips but it was a great hunt!!!

Was able to get out for a short hunt this evening in some of the just rained on sandy ground. Found another silver coin, always a welcome find! It was about three inches down and nestled between a couple of trash items but the 6 inch Treasure Seeker coil , did not miss its scent ! The...

It sounded off really sweet, almost had an idea this was a better than average signal. Sure enough it was ! Also got a weird key says "Winfield" and "This side up" , no clue here on what type of equipment it went to, hope someone knows out there ? Think this was a pretty good hunt, to me any...

Hit a private yard with my bestie AKA Mineslob. Small house built in 1929. Didn't find much, but what we did find was nice. Mineslob hit a gold ring with his E Trac, and I hit this beautiful 1902 Barber Dime. It's weird because I hit silver with the AT Pro, and he hit gold with his E Trac...

Got out to an old farmstead to detect some and the weather was great. Was actually looking for an old grove on the property but with 320 acres to search in and only a basic idea I ended up searching around where the farm house was most of the day. The 1953-D was an easy find on top of the ground...

My husband found this coin but we are not sure if they mean anything or are worth anything... Any ideas??

Got out with Lookindown with permission to a 1918 house. Found some nice relics and a four silver coin spill. Three Mercs and a Rosie. We had a great time. Check out the video below.... Finding silver isn't easy here in central Florida but my goal this year was ten silver coins on land and...

Hey all, I stumbled across these coins weeks ago. Usually i get ancient stuff but medieval coins (thalers?) always confused me thus making hard to determine the origin of the coin and the king on obverse. I hardly identified two coins (which are not here) and they had different origin: one from...

Yesterday I bought a roman silver coin from a dealer near me, I don't really know much about them but I wanted to have one for my collection. I went online and did some research. I understand that roman silver coins had a set weight to them, but mine is over weight? It's suppose to weigh 3.5-3.8...

Hello All, Just wanted to take a second and wish everybody a Happy New Year. I wish you all the best in 2014. On Monday I was lucky enough to be able to get out detecting for the last time in 2013 and did pretty well. Check out the video of my hunt.. I also did a wrap-up video of all my...

Great hunt, many firsts! Details on the blog below. Thanks for looking.

What's your perspective? A Realistic Look at MD'ing, with Silver and Wheat's No we don't always bring home the silver but LOOK as what we do get most of the time. Then we have those days of MD teasing, you know the thought, "the next dig and we got silver", yet it never shows :mad: Oh well...

Spent a little time in southern Utah hiking this week and remembered a post in this forum about detecting an old road near Vegas. As I was heading home on the new Highway 6 I remembered seeing sections of the old road abandoned in the mid 60's. I found a dirt road that intersected it and got on...

Hey guys I'm planning on coin hunting pretty soon so I was doing some research on the coins and I found close to nothing on the one dollar coins and I doubt it's because no one's tried them. Wikipedia says that it doesn't have any gold or silver in it by composition so I thought that was why but...
