    Something Big II -- with its cousins

    It had been a while since I dug some silver. Feeling kinda low > so I went to a new site today, a school that goes back to the 1800s. There were 3 inches of snow on top of the ground, so I detect under the trees. Junks was everywhere, got plenty of clad too. Then I dug a Lucky Charm that made my day- I was gonna quit and head for home, but just wanna see the lucky charm did anything. I dug a 1952 quarter , 1950 Franklin Half (my second Franklin half> ain't these suppose to be rare! and 1951 quarters Two wheats 1936 and 1909.

    Hey MA! I Got Silver!! rofl

    Man... that is some nice looking silver right there.
    The Franklins are sure nice when they come out of the hole. The cousins are beauties too.
    Three awesome coins. Congrats.
