Popular Post Dan(NM) Posted April 11, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2019 I went back to the parking lot that gave up 13 silvers and 27 wheats yesterday to save some more history. I was hoping that they would scrape a little more dirt off, instead they had already laid down basecoat over most of the lot. ? There was a small area still exposed so I decided to hunt it for the last time. In just over 2 hours I took out 3 more mercs and a barber along with 7 more wheats. Ended up with 17 silver coins and 34 wheats, 2 tokens, a silver ring, 3 Mexican coins and a handful of clad in about 8 hours of hunting. I was told that they will be scraping the rest of the lot sometime this month, you know where I'll be hanging around ? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UtahRich Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Nice - but the ground looks pretty tough on the coins. Good luck with the next go round. Rich - 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strick Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Street tear outs are tough...you gotta get em when you can..I've seen some get torn out and then covered back up the same day.. especially the side walks this seems to happen with. Great saves and looking forward to the rest of the story. strick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The condition of the silver coins reminds me of the saltwater finds that have been posted on this site. It just kills me to see such degradation. In my area the US nickels and bronze pennies suffer, but it varies according to soil conditions. Anyway, I'll be interested in how these look cleaned up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
