Midwest Diggers News — silver coins

Had a blast at a seeded hunt put on near Topeka Kansas by the Topeka Treasure Hunters Club.  This hunt is put on every year around the end of may and has about 100 people going for treasure, Nate the Digger didn't do to bad with a real nice 105 coin haul that included over 50 silver coins!  Can't wait until next year!

Went out for a weeks long treasure hunt and Bruce the Digger landed something he has never found in over 30 years of Treasure Hunting, a nice shiny 1900-s Silver Dollar!

We decided to go out hunting on the hottest day of the year so far and man was the ground hard as a rock.  Summertime in Nebraska so what do you expect huh?  97 degrees and humid as heck, but it turned out to be a great day.  We got permission to hunt an old house built in 1938 in the country club area and it turned out to be a good one.  196 total coins, 3 slivers (2 rosies and our first Merc of the year) - (1937).  6 wheaties and a bunch of clad. We also found a...
