I was wondering how people are doing finding silver coins. I have collected 25 pieces this year. 2 half dollars 6 quarters 13 dimes and 4 wartime nickles.
 
1-Merc, 1-Rosie and 1-Kennedy half-dollar. I've been a little bummed about my silver coin finds (or lack of) but after dave5710's response, I don't feel so bad. BTW- you need to exclude OhioCoinhunter(Jim Z.). His totals from his "virgin site" alone may push myself and a few others off the cliff. LOL (JK Jim !)

only 7. 1- Barber quarter, 3- Washingtons, 1- Barber dime, 1- Rosie and a war nickle. haven't been out much so far due to work, heat and skeeters.
 
Been almost to hot to hunt around here . But I managed 1 Roosevelt , 2 mercury's and 2 war nickels. Also got one silver religious metal .

I've been hunting mostly modern sites (so very little silver). But....in older dirt, I've been able to pull up 1 Barber Half, 1 Barber Quarter, 1 Standing Quarter, 1 Seated Dime, 10 to 15 Merc's and only 1 Roosevelt. (My work hours keep me close to home so modern jewelry has to be what my hunts are mostly about.) It's funny but I get more enjoyment from an old coin than jewelry?

Still needing to make time to get to some old dirt! (Not silver but found my first Flying Eagle Cent last week!)

Hey nw1886 it sure must be nice to have to "roughly estimate" the number of Merc's you've found so far this year. JK I know what you mean about there being more excitement and satisfaction from an old coin as opposed to a piece of jewelry ( well kind of since I've found so few old coins ) but when I find a really old piece of jewelry, I feel the same excitement.

I have gotten 5 IH's which is a record for me!
 
1 merc 3 rosies 2 Washington's and 2 war nickels. I do not get a lot of hunting time.

er found

In a bunch of years detecting, have never found a "small silver". Three cent'ers, 5 cent silver....nada. (I can understand no three cent silvers but a fish scale or two shoulda popped up by now?) In fact...goin' lookin' today! Is that a 5 cent silver instead. Did Canada make a 3 cent coin? Nice find!
 
New to the business ------ 1 Rosie found yesterday with the MXT Pro after a few hunts. :drinking: CCH
 
Ive found only 2 silver coins ever! this year i got my 2nd, a 1962 quarter. The other one i found last December and it was a 1943 merc.
 
Forgot... 1 seated Liberty dime also.
 
Not sure about this year..But over the last few years I managed to find a number of silver coins. A 1849-O liberty seated dime. Just a few weeks ago, a 1899-S dime. Also 1909-S quarter ( Barber) A 1890 silver dollar. 1919 Half, a bunch of mercurys and rosevelts. Also, a few silver foreign coins...Of course, this is around San Francisco where lots of construction projects go on all the time and it has a rich history going back to pre-Gold Rush days. I've gone out a few times lately and haven't turned up much. BerkeleyDuck@aol.com.
 
wow good to see all that silver being pulled i have had computer issues lately but was out again a few times and found more silver 9 pieces. 2 more walking liberty halves 3 1940's quarters a merc dime and 3 rosiesbut getting harder to find
 
Hi everybody. I have been thinking of getting a White's detector, so I was just here reading some of the posts. I have a Garrett GTAX 550, and it's been good so far, but I am interested in the White's V3i. Any advice on White's detectors would be appreciated! I have been detecting for roughly 4 months, and I have found some silver...

Halves: 1902 Barber

Canadian Quarters: 1906, 1921, 1963

American Quarters:1929, 1945

Canadian dimes: 17 in total, oldest 1928

Rosies: 1954, 1959, 1964

Mercs: 1941, 1945, 1945

Canadian fish scales: 2, both 1914
 
To much to list. 3 virgin sites and a river. Have not got to river yet will this weekend only been to 2 sites.. Rough estimate 30 dimes/80 quarters/10 halfs and others. To be fair one was a cache that was all silver quarters in a jar. I have not gone thru them all as work has been busy some very old stuff in there tho. A whole lot of halfs and dollars but not silver :(
