Yard Permission Yields Big Silver Haul!

[Brierfield]

I drove an hour from home this morning and got a nice permission to hunt two adjacent yards. I dug 6 silvers and 13 wheat pennies altogether with F75 - 5 Mercs ('34,'42,'43,'44); 1916 Barber dime; 1958 Washington Quarter.

Overall, a very productive day!

Thanks for looking!

That's a dang good hunt! It's been a while since I've had a 6 silver day. Wtg

Thanks, Hotwire.

I just discovered one more wheat penny in my pocket, so 14 wheats instead of 13! LOL

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. My first 6 coins found were 4 wheats and two silver dimes.
Wish every hunt could go so well!

New ground is always exciting, this is a perfect example of why.
That's more silver than I've ever found in one day, my largest day is four.
Get back in there and turn that ground radio active from hunting it so much. LOL!

Thanks was worth the hour drive!!!
Nice bunch of silver coins and a handful of wheats.
Just curious, did you also find much clad?

That place deserves at least one more visit. Beautiful haul. My best day ever was 4 silvers. The day before I had taken three out of that yard. I suspect I may have still missed something.

I didn't find that much clad. 3 dimes (one of them the dreaded 1965 Lol); 2 nickels; and 9 memorial pennies, most from the 60s and 70s (only one zinc). The only quarter was the silver one. The yard had obviously never been hunted before.

I did in fact return yesterday. I went to another new permission, but only found a few wheats. I then went to a park and a fairgrounds, but only found newer clad. I returned to the original permission to hunt some more and dug a 1925 Merc next to a sidewalk in front of one of the houses. So my total for the properties is now 7 silvers!

That's a great day! Congratulations!

Thanks, Chuck! It was a lot of fun!
