    some nice big silver Demo! Seems like Franklins are pretty hard to come by. That's a pretty old house by any standards, but for the west coast, that sounds super old, no?

    big silver is always fun to find...I'm still hunting for my first silver dollar...

    3 silver dollars! Many detectorists hope to only find one, including this guy.

    That eagle button looks Civil War era.

    What's the bitten-off looking silver colored piece at the left?

    Some very nice finds there !! Don't overlook the Lincolns, back in the day 1909S / S VDB, and 1914D's were merely pocket change.

    Though copper doesn't fair too well in the ground, one of those better dates should still have significant value if the opportunity presents its self.

    I've a few of the 1909 s cents and only one 1914d cent. in fact, I dug a 1914 s and d wheat cent in the same week. have never dug a 1914 cent ever again. living in California, I'd say 98% of my coins dug are "S" mints.

    the chewie item is a dreaded presidents game token. I absolutely hate digging them.

    Every time I MD a cellar hole, stone wall or old house, I am hoping to find a Morgan Dollar... no luck so far. Cheers, RickO
