    rainy cellar hunt w/Coinnut

    well , yesterday George and i went playing in the windy rain lol lol it was unseasonably warm but raining on an off all day . i chose a place that i wanted to take Mike a couple of weeks ago (George picked that place out and it was a awful , sorry again Mike) . Coinnut an i both did well here dispite the downpours >:\ >:\ also no action pictures because of the rain .



    my goodies included a couple of musket balls some buttons , a wheatie , a lincoln memeorial ,a couple of iron buckles , a small brass heart-shaped lock ,a very nice ornate pewter spoon bowl a decorated doorknob that probably had glass or porcelin outer ring at one time .



    heres the pewter spoon bowl , when you start to see them this ornate you know the family was well off .





    and my find of the day




    thanks for looking and get out there before the big freeze all.

    Holy crap, that dime is a thing to behold! Wow! Not sure what I'd do with myself if I found a coin like that. I'm sure I'd need to change my undies and then lay down for a while. WOW! lol

    So, it ended up being a '32? Sweet dime. Not a scratch on it either. We worked our tails off, but came up with some nice goods. No marking on that spoon I take it? My haul is below. I couldn't match the dime, but did pull out some silver of my own. 2 coppers and some trashed civil war buttons rounded out my hunt. It was fun until the sky got black and the flood gates opened up lol

    yeah the a '22 would of been extremely rare with only 100k minted but the '32 is just a bit over 500k minted so its still a great year.

    i like the button and religeous medal |
    very nice trime and matron head George

    Great hunt fellas. I know you two usually hunt on Fridays and while I was at work yesterday I was thinking about wether the two of you would brave it in the elements. I guess my question was answered, it certainly paid off.

    Gorgeous dime Dan. That one is still on my bucket list

    George, love the cleaver looking thing and great find on the trime
