SIDEWALKS STILL PRODUCING SILVER!! 12-29-08

[Derrelld]

Soo today started off being a train wreck!!!!!!!!!!!! I just bought a Garmin gps that will list all the city parks in the area,,, So really excited i left at 8:30 this morning and drove about 45 minutes to an old college town that dates back in the early 1800's... After hunting 4 parks one that buts up to the campus i didn't come out with a single old coin!!! Just a handful of clad...:veryangry: So on the way back i passes an old high school that had a date of 1934 engraved on the side,,, I pulled in and fired up the Explorer,, Walking ten feet i got a deep coin sound,, then pulled a 1926 wheaty at around 10 inches,,, i do not know why but I'm a wheaty digging fool,.,, if there is a wheat penny there ill find it!!!! lol i continued searching for about an hour and didn't even come across another decent signal... So i head back home and decided i would hunt the next street over from where i pulled the silver quarter and two mercs yesterday... soon as i hit the grass,,, Another wheaty,,, i start to get aggravated because that's all i ever find lol i guess it's better than zinc memorial penny's lol after pulling about a half dozen wheat's i the detector rang silver... I pulled a 1964 Roosevelt... i walked about 3 and a half block and ended up for the day... 10 wheat penny's 1919 1940D 1944 1941 1945 1946D 1948 1926 1936 and a 1913,,, Also two Roosevelt's,, 1964 and a 1958 D... And last but no least a 1917 D Merc... Those sidewalks still keep producing silver so I'm going to keep hunting them lol Good luck to everyone and thanks for looking...

Same here, if those sidewalks are still coughing up the silver then that's where I would be swinging too.

Good Hunting there Derrell

Old sidewalks are my favorite places to start a hunt in an old yard. I look for an old sidewalk with an original grade to it. In my hometown in southcentral KS., you can tell an original grade by looking for the old original red brick sidewalk, and seeing whether the sod is even with the sidewalk. Some of the old redbrick sidewalks are getting in bad shape as tree roots are buckling them in most places that I like to hunt. I believe the side walks were put in during the great depression years, and still hold some nice goodies. You have found a silver mine at these old sidewalks, Take care.................Hombre

Hey Hombre,,,
You are definitely right,,,,, Those sidewalks do hold a lot of goodies.... The ones i have been hunting are in a are that dates back in the early 1900's... They are not the old brick ones like you have,,, But the tree roots have taken their part in t=some damage.... I have a lot of those old brick sidewalks in my town too, but there is so much track that I'm saving them for a day with patients lol My days are coming to a end,, The weather is going to be getting bad in the next day or so... :veryangry: I been hunting the "RICH" neighborhoods.. They don't like it but i do They just get nosy and think you are finding something worth a bunch... Well Good luck hunting Hombre and I'm going to go over your way and do some other kind of hunting some day "coyote"... Talk to you later and thanks for the post...
