I finally struck Silver at the old school today. I have pulled a bunch of Wheat pennies from this site along with a war nickel and a Buffalo nickel last week, but today I pulled a Silver Quarter 1943. And of course just to keep my feet on the ground and kill my joyful day, don't you know I put a nice groove into the neck of good old George with my digger! But none the less it's good silver. I also pulled 4 more Wheats 1926, 48, 57 and a no date. I am gonna try and clean this one up a little more to try and get a date.

But there you have it finally my 1st true Silver, and a quarter no less!! Enjoy the pics!!

Congratulations!! Keep digging, there has to be more out there................right? :dontknow:
 

Woot!! Congrats on that first silver, Garth!! :icon_pirat:

nicely done with the ace 250-i believe theres more silver to come! HH
 

Way to go!! Theres probably more there, go over the same area from a different direction. Good job. Hot peroxide bath might get you that date :wink: If that don't do it try some vinegar and an old tooth brush for a few minutes. Anyway good job on the silver and the wheats, how old is the school? HH
 

Will try hot peroxide bath. School was built 1909. Closed as school in mid 60's Thanks everyone. It was my 2nd target dug. I was so happy I almost left so I could post it. But hung in there!!
 

Those are actually hard to come by, at least for me. Congrats on the silver 25 center....More to come from you I am sure..Nice job. jgas
