    My last two hunts, Big Silver!!

    These are the finds from my last two hunts. I returned to my go to spot this year, an old picnic grove. I started to work the wooded area and some of the trails. The finds are fewer but its peacefull and there are a few good ones to be found. I found two nice silvers a 1896 Barber quarter and a 1943 Walking Liberty Half. I also got 6 wheats, $3.16 in clad and a few relics. Thanks for looking.

    Great hunt FF43. <:
    The half and quarter are fantastic finds. The sterling salt shaker is a very unique piece.
    You have an incredible place to hunt. A real gem.
    I have a shoot at 3:00 and was pretty content without hunting today until I watched your video. >:/ lol
    Congrats.

    Fantastic finds! I especially love the Barber Quarter! Of course the Walker is terrific too, and that salt shaker is a nice hunk of silver!

    Very good quality video too, very clear images of the finds.
