Yes, very nice finds. I too am not finding many silver coins ... exactly 2 over the last year ... but most of the places I hunted over the last year have newer construction and fill. I'll need to go knock on doors at some older sites.

Great finds. I have not found anything really old yet.

Keep hunting you will find an area that will produce,and you will find older thing. Try old towns they have old schools, church grounds, parks..
