Road Construction Finds!

[Big Fang Coin Biter]

Hit some construction in the middle of town. Ended up with four crusted Indian heads and two silver coins. This is only my second silver dollar in nine years of detecting!! I was hunting about 15 feet from the edge of where the old sidewalk was (sort of in the street area). I came to a huge mud puddle and got a big signal about a foot into the puddle. I didn't expect much because big signals were everywhere from chewed up wire to pipes. Anyway, I dug out a goppy scoop and was surprised to find the target was dug up. checking the mud I found a huge silver disc! Wow that was cool. It had a bunch of black crud stuck to it so it was hard to tell condition. Cleaned up pretty good. I used electrolysis and ended up having to daub CLR on the black crud to get it off. The seated dime didn't fare as well and is pitted. This is what it is all about... dig in the mud - find treasure!

Take care and HH - BF

Nice finds! (My only dollar so far was a Sac.)

Were you using a beach scoop in the puddle muck? <g>

Always good when someone else does most of the digging for you!

No, I was using a small shovel (Lesche little sampson). It was more of a scoop than a dig in the puddle.
Thanks and HH - BF

Nice! Drool, slobber, envy, sob, etc.... I've gotten a few silver dollars out of old-town urban demo. sites, but only 1, specifically, from a "road" (or sidewalk) demo. site.

I'd fish in the muck for that buck any day. Very nice find only I picture myself strolling through a beautiful field on a warm sunny day with the birds singing joyfully all around and bunnies hopping
here and there when suddenly a beeping sound breaks in and I'm faced with the task of picking up yet another large Morgan silver dollar. Oh my!

Can't beat a nice Silver Dollar and a Seated Dime. Unless of course you found a Gold Coin. Good to see you saved them from being lost forever. Continued Success, Good Luck and HH.
