Today, I re-hit an old undeveloped dirt lot. I was picking the leftovers from all the other cherry pickers. Thank goodness for the bunch of nickels they left behind...

I found a couple of silver dimes, 1956 and a 1962-D in two separate holes about 6' apart. In both cases, the dimes were underneath or adjacent to nickels. The first find the nickel was 5" down and the dime was 8" down. For the other recovery the nickel was 4" down and the dime was 6" down.

Looks like your persistence paid off. Getting those nickels out of the way gave you access to the silver.:D I am sure it was worth the extra effort to get those Rosies.:yes:
 
Thanks....and appreciated!

Thanks...foreverrich. I usually hunt out those nickels. It seems when I am lucky, I get a silver or a thin ring in the nickel range.
 
Thanks...and for your comments

Grats on the silver man! I am curious though what's with that bell? To me it seems like the cooler find ��! Happy Hunting

Thanks SKMKS! That bell is like an old Christmas sleigh bell, I have not cleaned it up yet. It is about 1-1/2" wide, it appears made of heavy thick brass and is packed with dirt.
