photo/42 silvers + colonials, etc

[bergie]

It's been a great two years + since I started up again (quit detecting for about 20 years after starting as a kid). Met some great people to detect with through this site and found some great stuff. Here's a photo of all my silver coins and best other coins. I rarely dig other than silver copper tones. Although many disagree with this and I know I will miss the gold now and then, I waste much less time digging junk and therefore cover much more overall space and find a lot more of the silver and copper coins (including colonials).
17 Mercs
8 silver Rosies
8 silver Washingtons
4 Standing Liberties
2 Barber halves
2 Barber dimes
1 Spanish 1/2 Reale
2 silver rings (one pictured)
(non-slivers)
4 V Nickels
3 colonial coppers
2 large cents
1 buffalo nickel
1 two cent piece
(best single dig)
7 coins in one hole: two mercs, a Barber 1/2 and four wheaties (came back a few days later and found I had missed one of the four wheaties)
think I forget there are a couple or three Indian heads in the photo.

Yes, all these since starting again in last 2-3 years. There are a lot of good sites to be had and particularly in small towns where there are not many if any detectorists and almost any old private home (rarely are they detected).
