I finally got my Hybrid SUV so I was able to open up my public site playbook a little more because of the outstanding MPG I am now getting.
Everything shown was found at public sites except for the 1964 silver dime. That was pulled at a real short farmhouse permission hunt in SW North Dakota close to my parent's farm.
All of the half dollars were pulled from different sites. The 1918 Walker was pulled in North Dakota, The 1967 Kennedy (40% silver) was pulled in South Dakota, and the 2 Franklin half dollars were pulled in Minnesota.
Every silver half was a tight signal that had nails in the same hole. The 1959 was masked the most and was not much of a signal at all. I was able to get just the slightest repeatable chirp on that one.
The old walking liberty I pulled yesterday was about a foot deep and had a bonus 1920 mercury dime in the same hole.
The Item with the very old car on it is an old printing block. A big thanks to Elmy for IDing that one as my wife and I were racking our brains trying to figure out what it was since it is brass and not lead.
That printing block was way deep also. I believe the car to be in the teens.
Thanks for looking!

at all the silver… Big silver too!! 
. I suppose if I found two big silvers I’d be awake for 24/7 for awhile!! Good job.
