    First trip to my old school

    Well today was my first real day out with the F4 i got from Cody and i was pretty pleased! my oldest find was a 1952 wheatie and then a 55... i got a couple of coppers and a bunch of clad... not bad for my first time out


    But the find thats got me a bit curious is this....




    it hit HARD and was 3 inches deep near the old swing set that has been gone for 20 years... The tarnish on the back and the weight of it makes me think its silver... Its a pretty nice design... what do you guys think??

    Looks Silver to me. Might want to get it tested. You can get the acid kits real cheap online. Got mine through amazon. Wheats are nice. Good first trip.

    I was gonna ask you if you were a traveler Cody Lincoln Lodge #78 here and VERY proud to be a Brother! Im trying to figure a good place to go today and search i got a few possibilities but one i need to find the owner... the property is now farm land but was the original location of enosburg vt from the 1750's been vacant since the early 1900's just fields now that have not been used other then pasture land for the last 30+ years... I think i know the farmer But there is a couple of other public lands im thinking of hitting... Ill be posting pics of what i find... im excited to find my first silver coin...
