My "silver mine" coughs up a couple more...

[GioTheGreek]

I took Ricks advice and went back out today, looking for more silver.

I was eager to dig early on, and kept digging nail after nail.... hoping for a deep silver we may have missed.

I got a scratchy, iffy tone... and as always gave myself a minute to work my way around the target. All of a sudden, a nice high tone jumped out at me through the crackles.

"What the hell, let's dig it"

I doubt I would have went after it near the end of my hunt.

About 6-7 " down at the bottom of the hole, I encountered a nail.... I rechecked the hole and directly under where the nail was, was this 1929 Georgius dime. It's in fantastic shape.

I also found a Rosie about five inches down. This one rang in loud and clear. No junk around that one...

Later on in the hunt, I went after a pull tab signal which revealed this interesting button. Non-military, in rough shape... but, still a neat surprise.

I think I'll give up on this spot when a hunt doesn't produce any silver/large cents (which is soon no doubt). Until then, I have to keep at it...

Happy hunting!

Boy that dime is in great shape.
What a site. Congrats. Wish all sites could have so many silvers

Thanks Rick!

I've never seen anything like it.

There is a depressed square, about the size of a trailer, junky, on the corner of the field closest to the beach. I think there must have been some sort of canteen or store there back in the day. I really can't see any other reason for so many silvers being lost on this field.

Buy something to eat, sit in the field and eat it... lose your change.
