Originally I thought I had a random find when I found this earlier this year:
But, then I found some older junk silver in sad shape due to gravel, so I got to thinking maybe there used to be something there in the 19th century that got scattered.
Then a few weeks ago, this popped up:
Now I could date the loss of the coins to about 1910 roughly. But was there more to find? It is a difficult location to hunt and not draw unwarranted attention to oneself.
But, there was a break in the weather last evening and voila:
So, if we consider that the year is only half over and I already found two coins I have only read about and never seen, plus one no one had ever even heard about - this is shaping up to be a very interesting year.....
