Yesterday was day four for me at the virgin site, and it was the first silver day there too!
I got a nice '57 Washington quarter and the big surprise for the day was a nice condition 1944 War nickel! The Washington was very shallow, just under the roots which is weird as I've dug 1990s quarters in the same area as deep as 6-9 inches but I've seen silver "float" before. Kinda odd though...
I dug a bunch more clad, and am up to 140 total clad coins to date. This may not seem too impressive to some of you urban hunters, but here in the sticks finding that much coin is pretty dang rare. So I'm pretty happy about the whole thing.
It rained for the past few days and the site is muddy as a hog wallow, but in spite of being head to toe mud I am having a great time hunting out there.
My running total is as follows: So far the non-clad goods have been a 1935 Buffalo Nickel, a 1957 Washington Quarter and a 1944 War Nickel. The clad tally for all 4 days now stands at 140 coins: 2 clad halves, 43 clad quarters, 26 nickels, 26 clad dimes, and 43 pennies.
