oh yea silver is nice.
 

Welcome & well done.

Never done well in woods myself but I know they can be good.
 

1853 with rays. Great find. Any seated coin is a great find actually. Congrats!
 

Wow, nice finds! May have to give the ol' woods a try. Keep digging.
 

Oh Yeah, nothing like metal detecting in the woods. Love to hunt those old picnic grounds way back in a woods near a creek. They are out there, but most people just like to stick to those great play grounds. LOL we won't tell them, what great finds lurk in the woods.

Great finds, I'd have been back there at first light the next day.

Call it beginner's luck or whatever you hit a real nice old spot there. One old piece of US silver would be nice but you topped that. Those are some good looking keepers there. Congratulations on the finds and thanks for sharing the photos. By the way you've moved past the beginner status now with those nice finds. Hope that spot gives up some more nice coins for you.
