Loaded with SILVER!

[Gridwalker306]

Hello everyone! I used to be called J.cache on here, but I’ve changed my handle to match my social media accounts.
This past week was pretty amazing for me. I detected an old church and found a total of 24 silver coins dating back as far as 1905. (This group shot is missing the last three that I found yesterday).

A local farmer pulled in when I was first there and told me his brother and sister had detected it 20 years ago, so I probably wouldn’t find much. That explained why there really wasn’t anything right near the church. BUT lucky for me they didn’t take the time to grid the entire area further out.
Here’s yesterday’s silver-

Here’s a shot of the area, the red dots are roughly where I found the silver coins. Notice around the church is almost empty, hardly even a penny!

I call this place the Holy Church of Silver, for obvious reasons 😂

Thanks for looking, and good luck this weekend!

J! Good to see you back. And what a return! That’s some fine finds indeed.

Thank you DTC! I’ve been working hard to find new spots this year, and it’s paid off.

Congrats on the picture full of silver, and the tray of recoveries.
Now that's a lovely site to be hunting at, and the potential of even more once the crops come off. What is it planted in now?
Have you done the tree line between the field and the lawn as of yet?
Many times these are overlooked as it's not the easy pickings of others that have detected previously.

Thanks so much Pepperj! I believe that field is canola, and I can’t wait until it’s harvested. I see farmers around here are already combining because it’s so dry, some farmers are praying for hail because the crops are so bad from the drought.

You have a great haul there. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Thanks, hopefully there will be more next time I can get out there.

Insurance company must be nervous about the prospect of many claims.

You are wise as always Cru! And the farmer told me that the field just north of the cemetery/trees had the baseball field. He gave me permission to hunt it once he gets his crops off.

I can't wait to see what you pull out of here.

I had a friend who detected in Conn. in the 1970's. He finished his normal 2 hour beach hunt after work and was packing up when hespotted an old chicken wire fence that went 10-12 in the air. He realized it was a baseball field backstop. He said he probably pulled out 1500 coins and medals from around 1900 from that ball field!!!! 1c to 50c, some were uncirulated.

Go get 'em tiger.

Oh man, that sounds incredible, the sort of thing we all dream about! I haven’t been out digging for a couple of weeks, but hopefully this weekend I’ll be able to head back there and see if the crop has been harvested.
