A hole full of Silver.

[potsy]

Here in beautiful frozen ogden, Utah. The kid was playing hookey from school, (carson age 4) We went out to a block where they were removing old houses. In total 6 wheaties, 4 silver quarters 36,41,43,and a 61, and a couple nickels. In one hole we flipped some dirt about 7inches down, and the boy says, "that looks shiny" 4 silver quarters, a 43 penny and a 54 nickel. I was pretty excited and so was he. All found in one yard. We were using a small sledge, and a lesche shovel, beating the rubber foot pad with the hammer. Worked pretty well. Can't wait till tomorrow. There were like 7 houses on the block some are pretty early 1900's. The new SE is sweet.

Wow. Awesome find. Nice to find a silver pocket dump. Too bad you got to deal with the frozen ground.

Where's my jackhammer?

It pays to freeze your hiney off sometimes don't it?

Way to go there.

The "the jack hammer" was the 4 yr old beating the shovel with a small sledge. Then in his spare time beating dirt clods from the demolition machinery.
