Default Found my first Silver coin today

I finally found a silver coin!! I was hunting in the woods of my old highschool.! There is an old foundation for a building back there and old overgrown Dirt and Cobblestone Road leading up there way up on a cliff.! Odd place for a house! Tons and tons of old steel beer cans and all kinds of trash all over the place That was driving me nuts.. Finally got a good signal and it was a 1955 Quarter!! Also found a wheat Penny (194X) that i haven't cleaned yet And like 20 other Memorial Pennies.! Probally could find all kinds of stuff up there if it wasn't so trashy and overgrown with fallen trees and Brush.
Anyways i'll post a pic of the quarter later when i find my camera.

Congrats on the silver coin! You didn't lose the camera in the overgrown brush did you?

Nice job on the quarter! You don't see many silver quarters these days. Good job! Now get back there and clean out the trash to get to the rest of the good stuff!

Just checked an old map....The property was settled at least since 1876...!
Link to1876 Atlas.! It is in the middle of the map with the name J. Link.

Mucho Congrats! Still looking for my first. Is this perhaps an old Lover's Lane site? If so, get out into those bushes
