The last two days of coin finding....and our first silver item!

Finds for today.
Max finds our first silver-an earring 925.
Total finds from yesterday.

Max and I went out metal detecting after he got out of school to a private beach in Bellevue, WA. We ended up finding $1.15 in change (2 quarters, 5 dimes, and 15 pennies). One penny was our second wheatie-a 1956D. I was able to video Max unearthing our first silver item-an earring that had CA 925 stamped on it. It also had a stone similar to an aqua marine. Way to go Max!

This morning Max and I hit Matthews Beach in Seattle, WA for a quick hunt. We ended up finding $2.00 in change (6 quarters, 4 dimes and 10 pennies).

Check out a couple of our videos on youtube (LincolnPennyProject) when you get some time.

Below ground finds: $3.15
Total finds to date: $20.77 Day 23 averages out to $.90 per day

  1. Congrats Max on the silver. Still looking for my first silver and looking for my first wheatie as well.

  2. Thanks for the note Brian! I know that you will be finding your first silver and wheatie soon. You have had too much snow-and hopefully will thaw out soon. Keep us posted on your finds!

    We will keep up on your blog as well....
