Since late Octoer I've been hunting some median strips in San Francisco. Over the last 12 weekends I've taken out 55 silver coins and 132 wheat pennies! My last 2 hunts
I dug a 1937-S walking liberty half, a 1910-S barber dime, sterling silver spoon, old toy cap gun, and 16 wheat pennies! My computer crashed back in October so now I can post
pics again with my new computer!

Sweet silver :headbang: Isn't there tons of trash on medians?

You would not believe all the trash! Lots of copper and brass! Tons of of miscellaneous metal trash. I could fill half a garbage can with all the metal trash I've taken out!

That makes finding silver all that more sweet.
 

Awesome finds.

Well Done :thumbsup:


Happy Hunting

Silver is always amazing to pull out! Congrats
 

Nice finds, the cap gun is 1930's I have one just like it that I found in Colorado a few years ago.

I firmly believe the removal of the trash is what allowed you to find so much silver lining. WTG!!!
 

Yes the Median Master strikes again! Good job on all the silver :notworthy:
 

I had to google it but now l know where you were hunting. (never heard the word before, not one we use here in the UK ) Would not think of searching those areas here but l guess on less busy roads it would be OK . Looks like they are productive for you. Some good coins there. Hutch.
 

super nice stuff.:icon_thumleft:
 

Great finds ! It's crazy how many silver coins you find in all the strips .

outstanding finds! It's been a long time since I had a hunt that productive
