I had an exciting hunt this morning :yes:, knocking two items off my bucket list. I found a cellar hole that was still standing as late as the 1980s...so no 1600s stuff this time :lol:, or even colonial. BUT, I liked the results!

1945 Wheat
1943 Walking Liberty Half
1936 Merc
1874 Indian
1854 Seated Quarter with arrows
These coins are all in very nice condition, even the Indian.

...and the two bucket list items were a piece of silver cutlery and a hames top. The row of oaks still standing sentry over the yard gave up the hole's whereabouts. Thanks!

Thanks everyone....Jim, I plead ignorance when it comes to cleaning silver. I don't even use a toothbrush because it seems to leave tiny scratches. So I guess I could soak the silver in soapy water, but I don't care that much :lol:

Lol. I thought you would say ignorance to the first part of my comment. Are you using a wire brush for a toothbrush? Lol. Idk but I thought the soft bristle would be fine. Or the soap and water. I figured the seated might get a case or be for display and therefore cleaned up a bit.
