Default Dug my first silver coin in KS...didn't even know it!

Been tumbling some of my clad coins I have dug in my new hometown and found a surprise when I checked them after tumbling.
I have no idea how I missed it, I always look at my coins when I dig them for a date, (obsessive), but some are so dirty you can't see it.
The clay around here does stain the dimes and nickels pretty good, and even though silver should come up clean out of the ground, evidently, sometimes it doesn't.
This one sure didn't, I also usually check all coins pretty close when I get home after my hunts, and I checked all cleaner coins before putting them in my tumbler drum.

I have no clue where I dug this one, probably one of the parks I frequent, an older one, and I sure wish I knew which one so I could hit that one harder.

I go back to my sites over and over so I will pay more attention at the older ones and look a little harder as I dig these coins from now on.
Even the dirty ones.

All I know is...I DUG MY FIRST SILVER COIN IN KANSAS...and I am one happy fellow!

Just wait till I start knocking on doors of older homes and find even older sites to hunt when it gets warmer.
More to come.
