Field of Silver-April 9, 2011

[stargazer66]

These are my finds for April 9, 2011. The Standing Liberty quarter on top was found in an old park and the rest were found in a field that use to be a hang out spot for teenagers back in the 1940s. The field yielded a Walking Liberty half, 4 silver Washington quarters, 14 Mercury dimes, 2 silver Roosevelt dimes, 3 Buffalo nickels, 4 Jefferson nickels (1941-42) and 34 Wheat pennies. Best field I have ever metal detected and I have only scratched the surface. I was told by the farmer that this area had been metal detected by a number of people over the years and obviously as you can see they didn't do a very good job. These were all good loud hits.

wow- great pic! what detector have you been using? what state are you also in? (not to give away your field of silver!)... great coins. very impressive.

For your first post that is a doozy. Finding that many nickels is a sensation. Nickels have been the most consistently hard coins to find for many Tnet members for some reason. Monty
