Silver Dimes and Large Cent

[angellionel]

We need more days like today, especially on the weekends. It was beautiful out there! I considered detecting at one of the local parks, but headed to Connecticut instead. I ended up with five silver coins and one large cent, dated 1853.

Here is a trio of dimes as dug - a Barber dime, a mercury and a Roosevelt.

Another five silver dimes added to the pile.

This pin is heavy. It was deep and had sounded off like a quarter too. :bangahead02: But I like it. :cheesysmile:

very sweet day Angel and it sure was a beauty of a day here in Connecticut , great silver as usual and the copper well
lets just say its an attention getter ( right George :poke: ) your pin has the official Connecticut state seal on it so its
probably something to do with law enforcement or local civil use .very nice

Wow, those coppers take a beating in your ground! :shocked04: Still, you are doing amazing with the large cents this year :) :)

Silver as usual my friend... congrats :) I love the barber :)

The pin is very nice. :thumbsup01:

Forget the silver, I think Angel is leading the copper count :lol: Nice day out and 5 silvers never hurt either. And as button man Dan says It's an official Connecticut state seal So I guess it is :confused:..... :rofl: Man them coppers take a beating. If you clean it too much the date is going with it :yes: Nice day for a hunt.

Thanks, Dan. It is an interesting piece. It's the size of a quarter, but slightly heavier. It was at about the 9 mark, so it had been at that park for some time apparently.

They sure do take a beating from the soil at the parks. :bummer: They sound off beautifully though. :) I have found six this year so far. :)

I don't stand a chance. :lol: Yeah, they don't handle cleaning too well. I just try to remove the surface soil and let them be. :yes:
