What a trip we had ! This place I have been hunting near my parents cabin in the Sierras keeps giving up the old silver ! I hunted twice while we were on vacation . The first was an evening hunt till it was dark , not much found , clad and a broken junk kids ring . The next morning my son , Carson and I got out early at 630 am and hit it hard . My son was the first to strike silver :icon_thumright: . He had a +77 at 2 inches and out popped a sweet 1928S Merc :headbang: . He was grinning ear to ear . Then I got a +24 at 3 inches , a 1944P silver war nickel . We were both on the board :hello2: . Then it happened , a crazy mixed up target at 7 inches . It was +28 , +45 , +68 , +72 , it was everywhere but kept repeating . I know from the past at this location to dig a target like this . I got down to the target and I saw silver in the pile of dirt . Not any silver but the oldest coin I had ever found at this place . It was a 1875 Seated dime ! My son and I were going crazy :blob8: . Then I stated to fill the hole in and as I did I had another high tone , Seated number two ! A 1891 Seated dime ! My first ever Seated spill ! So I checked again and on the side of the hole at 9 inches another high tone , +72 . The third and final coin of the spill was a 1908 Indian cent ! I think it will be a long time before I top this one ! The next coin went to my son , a 1949S wheat at 2 inches . After that we found some clad and were ready to head back to the cabin when I got a screaming +92 at 2 inches . One more silver coin for the hunt , a 1946S Washington quarter . What a hunt we had :headbang: . We are going to try and get back for one more hunt this year before it gets to cold , maybe more silver is waiting :thumbsup: .

your son is going to have to get a safety deposit box for all his future silvers Congrats on the seated 's great hunting as usual , my fav spot Cal 49 , Neva , Tahoe beautiful places.
 

Oh man ! That is a very nice day you had there - I'm trying to imagine how it felt once you realized that there was more than one coin .
 

Y'all did good! Love those seated dimes!
 

Great job, Pl8man! :icon_thumright: That's a good week in my book! Just wondering, though, where'd you say that cabin is again, exactly?

Congratulations to both! Those are the discoveries that should inspire to every treasure hunter on keep searching.
 

The location your digging understandably a secret spot but I wonder what it was to have so many coins.wagon trail. Was there an old store located nearby? Or is it just a cabin community from years ago??? Just wondering.CONGRATS ON YOUR FINDS AND ITS A WONDERFUL TIME EVEN IF NOTHING IS FOUND TO SPEND TIME WITH YOUR SON KEEP DIGGIN AND KEEP POSTING

I don't want to say much to give it away . Last year I posted some finds from this spot and had one shot of trees and some other things in the back ground and a guy in California guessed it ! Lets just say it was a happening place in the 1880's . I have seen some pictures of what it looked like and I could see why so many coins were lost .

It makes me want to keep searching !
 

Awesome finds ...I have yet to hunt a spot with results like that!
 

Found out yesterday that the family cabin where I stay for these hunts and the area of the hunt is now only 8 miles from the Rim Fire here in California . The cabin was built by my Grandfather and Father in 1970 . We should know in the next two to three days if both are spared by the fire .

Sounds like a great time to share with your son. A time you both will remember for years. Congrats.
