I have been traveling for work this week, I'm in Chicago right now. However before I left on Sunday, I managed to slip out for a little hunt. It went back to the latest permission, which is about 15 acres of torn down houses. So far the other boys and I have found 20 silver coins there. Nothing really killer, but any shiny coin is good enough for me.
As usual, I dug a bunch of coins, and even more trash!
You know when you dig a Jefferson, and it has any silver at all showing, Check for the big mint mark. War nickel!
There is a place where there are iron nails and lots of trash. The other boys missed three silver dimes there the other week. I was digging everything. I got a mixed signal, dug a big hole, it had a quarter, three nickels and a hand full of cents in it, along with some trash... and this Mercury dime. Don't be afraid to dig trash!
All total, nine wheaties and two silvers. I went home with a feeling of satisfaction of a job well done, and a smile on my face.
Thanks for looking and best of luck on your hunts!
