    Three Silver Hunt & Other Finds

    It's been awhile since I found more than two silvers on a hunt, nothing real old but I'll take 'em. There are also a variety of other finds from the past week. I also found another Rosie and another IH, not pictured here.

    Thanks! It is amazing how many harmonica reeds can be found out there! Keep an eye open after the rain for marbles, I always like finding the old clay ones.

    I've yet to find a single marble. The harmonica must have been some fad. Nice going on the silver!

    Nice digs Darren, it is nice to see you back in action. I see you met up with Chris at a tear out, that's cool. He is a good guy that is nuts about this hobby.

    Thanks Jeff! I have been out and about just not posting as much. Yes I met Chris on a tearout, hopefully next time I'll have more time to chat.

    I'm hoping so as well! Think I may have missed you at a tearout I just learned about on 4th St. Only maybe 2 blocks long, but I spoke with the resident can collector there who said 2 guys detected it about 2 weeks ago when the tearout was starting. I was told they found a couple gold coins under the sidewalk! But I figure if that was you, gold coins would have made this forum real quick! Lol
