Hey everyone!

My brother and I got out to a new permission today. Funny enough, it’s my grandma’s place! The area came up while doing some research so we figured, what the heck, let’s give it a shot.

When my first recovery was an Indian Head Penny and my brother’s third was a Merc we figured we were in for a good day. We didn’t know all what was in store!

Early in the hunt I got a banging signal at 5 inches. It wasn’t until I got to 7 inches that I pinpointed the signal in the dirt on my towel. I saw it was a half and ran over the my brother. We did a small swipe and saw the eagle of a Barber! I quickly got some water to reveal a pretty good condition 1902-S. That predates the known history of this site, pretty cool!

I found nothing but trash for probably another hour. Then, I got another banger. At probably 6-7 inches I saw the gleam of silver in the hole. I called my brother over and I dug it out with him there. An SLQ!! No date but it’s my first D mint SLQ.

A while later I got another banger. Happened to be just a deep clad quarter. A few feet away my brother told me he’s getting the highest number he’s seen on his Nox yet, a 37. We’d commented earlier that a Peace Dollar was possible here.

I’m digging another target and I hear him hooting and hollering “dollar!”. I told him not to swipe it so we ran to get some water together. Turns out it was a peace dollar, his first silver dollar. So awesome!

I really wanted to get one last silver before calling it a day and got my wish granted with a 43-S war nickel. So strange, we found every denomination of 20th century silver coin! Never had that happen before, that’s for sure.

Here’s the eye candy:

Pretty awesome. Next time you hear from us, we might be in South Carolina. We’re headed there next weekend for a Detecting trip.

Good luck out there folks!

Thats awesome that has got to be fun lots more there I bet I love sites like that owned by family to boot

Thanks Tommy! It's hard to beat the feeling of knowing you are on untouched ground.
 

Man what a nice day of hunting for you. I have yet to find a silver dollar in 40 plus years. I have found modern junk dollars, but not silver.
 

Hi, wow you and your brother had a great hunt with some awesome finds. Congrats:occasion14:
 

What an awesome day you guys!!!
 

Sweet old coin shooting! :occasion14:
 

Wash, amazing that you hadn't thought about hitting granny's place before. One other Q......where's the trime? lol

Seriously, FANTASTIC hunt and thanks for sharing.
 

Oh, and tell your bro welcome to the silver dollar club!

Haha thanks! I didn’t realize how old it was until I came across a photo of the area in an old book. Her house is newer, probably from the 70s.

And will do! Couldn’t be happier for him.

Oh ya, and 20th century only! No way we’re finding a trime or 20 cent quarter out here.
 

Very Nice!!! Congrats!!!
 

Congrats on all the silvers.

I enjoy hunting with my brother as well.

Now this doesn't happen everyday, amazing hunt! I meant to comment sooner but better late than never. As much as I like going out on solo hunts, it's always better to have a partner or group hunt. That makes the chances higher to find some nice coins or relics. This is a great example.
