Default Trudged through the snow and dug out silver and Indians!
OK, I confess, winter is getting toooooo long here and you can only repaint the bathroom so many times! (this is the 4th time, the wife didn't like the first three) So I needed a break (wife is at work I hope she doesn't read this) and I trudge through the snow to the bank and dig out some silver and Indians from the safe deposit box. Yeah, I got a little tired of seeing everyone elses silver and indian finds when I can't dig through two feet of snow and two feet of frost, so I put them in my Pirate treasure box for show. So this is for all of you who can dig twelve months of the year! Eat your heart out! Keep digging those tabs and zincolns:! I'm on vacation from digging for another three months!

I wish! I collected them over the last 35 years. I just got my detector this fall and have yet to find more than a few wheats and two silver nickels as far as old coins.

I was about to say holy !!!!, that makes my metal detecting collection look tiny compared to that. Makes me feel better that they aren't dug. Great collection though, HH.

Nice collection, I see some coins in there that shouldn't be touching others,
so as not to diminish their value. I'd start with the seated and the bust coins.
Again-very nice collection!
