Today was my 8th time out for this year, scored a 1880 Canadian 5 cent piece (silver), can't believe how small & paper thin it is. about the size of a 1/2 reale. the King George Copper, 1904 Indian cent, 1912D Barber Dime, were all found at a old farm field that is no longer used, 10 days later, i went back & scored the 1925 buffalo & gold pin. the 1909D Barber Dime (Semi Key) And Brooch, was a local park find. the two V nickels & 1918 Merc came from the farm field. thanks for looking

great finds Shopper45 , the silver is some quality pieces :smitten: :smitten: are you sure the copper isn't a Connecticut copper :huh: the outline of the bust is very close unless its the dirt playing tricks on my eyes.

Wow... a bunch of awesome finds.
The 1912 Barber looks like it is in fantastic shape.
Congrats on the 1909 Barber, it's definitely a great one to add to your collection.
The King George is a super nice find.
So many things to admire in this post. :drool:
Congrats Shopper.

Hi Del, here's a better picture of the front & back of the KG copper, would be cool if it is a Connecticut copper. any help on a ID would be appreciated. thanks
