    A Few Silvers

    I went back to the house where I found the Barber quarter the other day. Found a couple of interesting finds, and a few keepers. Found this old key. Always like finding those. The old mason jar lid. couldn't believe it wasn't broke. Zinc was gone, and no coins anywhere around it. Found seven wheats, 1913, 15, 16, 21, 23, 53, and a 58-D. That makes 10 weats so far out of the front yard. Two silver dimes, 1936 Merc. and a 1952 Rosie, both in the same hole. Always recheck your hole. (new guys). And last a 1942-S Washington. Happy hunting all!

    Love the silver coins and the old key, Cody! That yard has really paid off for you. The key is probably brass and should clean up nicely.

    That's a different one. Don't think I have seen one like that. Wonder if it came from a trunk?

    A trunk would definitely be a likely origin. Now if I could just find that elusive trunk, filled with exciting treasures....
