Found some old silver in the Sierras this weekend

[PL8MAN]

Got back up to the family cabin this weekend in the Sierras . My son and I got out early Saturday and did some hunting at my favorite old site . We hunted a good three hours and found some clad . The good find for my son was ring #6 for the year . It a small plated one with a heart . I was lucky in finding some old silver . The first was a 1914 Barber dime at a good 5 inches deep . Then maybe an hour later I had a crazy jumpy signal at 7 inches . I was digging out the dirt when I saw a small disk fly out , a 1902 Indian Head penny . Then 15 minutes after that I had a 4 inch +79 and it was Barber #2 for the day . A 1912 Dime . Along the way I found some wheats , 1942D , 1947D , 1953S and 1957D . The one other cool find was a small button with an anchor on it . This will be the last hunt up at the cabin this year . I'll try and get back around April after the snow is gone . thumbsup01

It looks like you are just as adept at finding old coins as you are at finding rings. :yes:

Those two Barbers and the Indian are early coins out there. You must be in a good, old spot :yes: I'm surprised that they did not have a &quot:grin: or S mint mark :crazy: Nice pics too.

Two months ago I had hunted the same place and found two Seated dimes . The area dates back to the early 1880's .
