Re: Boston Silver - Part Two
Nice indeed Angel. The Barber and Walker half dollars gave me a chuckle.
Re: Boston Silver - Part Two

The silver you pull on a regular basis is just crazy. I read you post, saw the pictures and just chuckled and shook my head.
Very, very well done sir!

Re: Boston Silver - Part Two
Only 14 silvers - were you having a slow day? :lol: :rofl:
Just kidding. Incredible finds, as always :smitten: Just finding ONE silver half dollar would make my month. I really love the WW1 medal, too. And whatever that is to the right of the merc in the photo of your earlier detecting trip.

The thought that I had when I found mine was your recent post on the Barber and Walker halves. :lol:

Yeah, just about the same years on your halves!
Great silvers Angel :clapping: Now what is it in your soil up there that makes your silvers so tarnished Angel? The only ones I dig up like that here in Kentucky are my war nickels...

Actually, the Barber half isn't tarnished much. That's caked-on soil it has on it. The darker part is damp soil from dabbing a bit of water on it to remove some of the dirt. :yes: Much of the silver does come out without much tarnish, but those pieces that do have a good amount of it have been found at sites that have poor drainage. :yes:
Re: Boston Silver - Part Two
That was definetly worth the trip back :yes: I love seeing all the different types of coins you dig up, that Australian penny with the kangaroo really is cool.. :)
Re: Boston Silver - Part Two
Well Thank God you re-set your machine for silver again, and stopped finding them large coppers :lol: Cut us cellar hole guys some slack :eyebrow: :eyebrow: :lol: Nice hunt and the big silver is there, just like it is in every old park here. Congrats on a good trip. I knew you were up to no good, since you were too quiet lately :thinkingabout:

That large Australian penny is a first for me. :yes: It was a nice surprise. I did think I had an old copper until I cleaned it up.

:lol: My E-Trac had been experiencing silver withdrawal symptoms :lol:.
There are several other parks in Boston I would love to hit sometime. :yes: The one I worked this weekend is relatively small, but it has proven to be a good one for silver. The surface trash is a pain though. :shocked01:
Re: Boston Silver - Part Two
Being kind of a geek, I like to keep track of my finds, meager as they may be compared to yours! :kiss: I adapted a Excel spreadsheet that Z118 gave me and love it. This brings me to my question. Do you keep track of your silver by Barber, Seated, Merc, etc.?? With the awesome year you have had so far, I was just wondering what the breakdown is of your silver?
Congratz once again on an amazing hunting season!! :twirlingeyes: :drool:

I do keep track of the silver and some of the other finds. I have not kept track of the wheat cents though. I should have. :confused: Anyway, below is a snapshot of the silver and copper finds for this year and last year. :yes:

Re: Boston Silver - Part Two
Nice!!
That is amazing.
It's neat to see that even you have improved from last year. Hard to believe that there was even room to improve.
I can't imagine, and wait to see, what next year will bring. :shocked04:

I very seriously doubt that I will ever surpass this year's total. :lol: I will have a lot of fun trying though. :smitten:
Re: Boston Silver - Part Two
Come on man! I see your slacking off on the Franklin Halfs!! :poke: :bop: :behave:
Re: Boston Silver - Part Two
Yes very nice finds. I would of figured that Boston being a very historical town, that many parks would be off limits. Unless it's on the outer parts of the city. I wouldn't be surprised if you found a coin or more from the 1700s.You ever visit the old cemetarys around the city. I've seen alot from the 1600's . That would be nice to find coins from that era.

I certainly would be careful about where one would detect out there. The Boston Common, for example, is off limits, as are other sites. It's the same in NYC.
I suppose that there are many old cemeteries in Boston, but of course I wouldn't ever detect in them or at any other cemetery, though I'm sure that's not what you meant. :yes:
