Those massive chunks of silver are pretty jealousy-inducing, heh. Awesome stuff! Found several pounds of brass/copper and 4 cents today, including a '44D and '57D. Pretty uneventful, hope y'all find something better!
Yes those other finds (with eyes are good). Hit some rummage sales yesterday, tip-top bread jiggle puzzle (on ebay for $25), General Mac Arthur medal (no data yet), early Union items (again, no data yet), and a 1950s band aid box (figure $3) last was a Vernors pop can bank (worth about $5) with coins in it. I was curious and saw one of the quarters in the slot was 1964 meaning silver. Not one, but 2 1964 silver quarters and a 1955 wheat cent also. Felt good as I only paid $3 for the lot.It pays to be attentive to what is in your field of view!!!. Good luck all. Keep posting the finds. Love to read about others interesting finds and how they find them. Bottle digging I got some Clorox with the cork tops, a 1950s vintage Silvertown BF GOODRICH ash tray kind of that carnival glass green, some figuratives, and some scrap metal.
Silver this morning..... Hit one of my local spots today after seeing some excavation had taken place. Today I pulled 2 mercury dimes 1942,1944 both P mint. Also snatched a sterling ring (small) and a 1915-P wheat cent, 1 quarter, 4 pennies. Hope others are out getting some finds.
Just a short hop today (hot out there). Got about $1 in misc change and 1925, 1928-D, 1928-P wheats this morning plus some scrap brass pcs, nice big old brass door knob. Ran into one other fellow got a better find than I, 1913 Canadian large cent. Nice shape too.
Went out the other day and found a very nice piece of silver with some cobaltite that weighs 10 pounds. It was a very good signal with the F75 detector and I had to dig down almost 2 feet. It probably took close to 45 minutes to dig it out because the ground was very compact and kept caving in. With a good cleaning more silver would be exposed. Keep on digging!
Went out detecting today for silver and started walking down an old road that leads to a mine site that operated about 100 years ago. Within 5 minutes I got a good signal in a part of the road that is usually full of water but emptied out. Dug down almost 2 feet and pulled out this nice piece of silver. I have not weighed this one but I estimate that it weighs 10-12 pounds. It is native silver in calcite and a very rich piece!
