Today's hunt...

[fwcrawford]

I went back to an old school today that gave up some silver coins back in the Spring before it got hot and I had to give up.
The finds were pretty scarce the last time I tried there, but figured maybe if nothing else, I could find a good number of nickels.
They were kind of scarce too, but I did much better than I expected and even found a silver quarter which was a nice surprise.
It was only about 2-3" deep on one side of the school in an area I have never tried before.. (I guess no one else did either)!!
When I first found it, I thought it was clad, but noticed the back was shiny.. looking closer revealed it was indeed silver.. 1963.
This was about 6 hours worth of detecting today.. lucky for me it was overcast and breezy for the most part until after lunch.
Thank for looking!!

Nice find on that silver quarter, they don't pop up very often.
If I can get one silver coin in an all day hunt I feel really lucky.

Any day you find silver or gold is a great day,

Great hunt! Getting outside & getting exercise is a great reward. But finding some coins with a silver quarter thrown in really makes it a great hunt!
