Capped Bust Dime, Seated Quarter, Barber Dimes +
« on: March 09, 2012, 10:23:30 pm »
Today I had another opportunity for an afternoon hunt, so I grabbed it.    :y   I had not expected anything like yesterday's hunt, but as it turns out it ended up being another exciting one.      :y

I managed to dig up several more silver coins, seven in total. The Barber and mercury dimes alone would have made my day, but the added bonus of a Capped Bust dime and a Seated quarter made the hunt even sweeter.




The 1831 Capped Bust dime is worn, but a sweet find anyway. There were 771,350 minted.




When I first caught a glimpse of the eagle my heart skipped a beat.     lol






Among the finds is another large cent, a corroded Indian Head cent, and several wheat cents.



Have a terrific weekend everyone!

Wow... you are in a zone at that park.  8D

The early age of the coins you find at parks just blows my mind.  :o
Care to give a ballpark age of the park you are currently hunting?  :->

Someday I've just got to see you in action.  :y  It would be quite the learning experience.

Can't wait to see what your next trip produces.  Congrats on some real nice keepers here Angel.

It is a good feeling to see some of the older coins pop out of the ground.    :y   But it's easy to get spoiled.    lol

I'm not really sure about the park's age.   8(    But given the type of coins found there, a rough guess would be early to mid 1800's?     :?   Of course, that likely was your guess as well.    lol

Yeah, I can see how one could get spoiled with your last two hunts.  xo)  I hope your good fortune continues.

That was my guess as well.  It's crazy to think that a park user had a half reale in their pocket to fall out
and wait for you to find a few years later.  :o   :-P
