Having fun at the old mine!

I took my outlaw with the 7" concentric coil out this morning to an old mine I found. Here are some of my finds. I had a great time getting out the weather was nice. I found 3 older wheat pennies and some mining tags and some other interesting stuff. When I get these cleaned up I'll post another pic. I kept the disc low at or below foil and dug all good signals and some iffy ones. The outlaw runs smooth. Thanks for looking!

The wheat pennies ended up being 1917,1919, and 1920 dates.

That looks like an interesting place to detect. You might find some silver coins there that were dropped by the workers. Do know how long the mine has been there?

Tabman, I am not sure how old the mine is. I have been trying to research the area to find out what was all there and when with little luck so far. As far as other coins that I found there, the oldest was a 1884 Indian head penny and the newest was a 1923 buffalo nickel. I do find some interesting stuff from time to time and enjoy every minute of it. Silver is hard to come by around here but all I can do is keep trying.

Nice finds, I remember my grandfather was a coal miner he kept his tag nailed to the wall. It would be cool to look up to see who they belong to.

A lot of mines used to pay their workers in "script" (I think that is what is was called, correct me if I am wrong) which they could use at the "company store" and pretty much no where else. So while I'm sure there are siver coins around they may just be few and far between. Still, looks like a great place to hunt, the tags and other stuff is always fun to find. Keep at it as I'm sure you will find silver and lots of other cool stuff, and by the way, nice finds..........
