A Few Pieces of Silver...

[Full Metal Digger]

Hey diggers,
Yeah, I copied the title of Tony's latest thread! Probably just a coincidence...

Did some door knocking and hit 3 different yards. Two were flops but the 3rd one had some goodies. Got 3 silvers which bumps me up to 32 for the year. Got my second 1940's coin spill of the year. Both spills contained a war nickel--what are the odds of that? Thanks for looking, Dave.

Excellent bunch of nice old coins and some very neat relics, hey them cracker prizes ain't nothing to shake a stick at they're highly collectible. The Ice skate is really cool

I love the follow-up on the ice skate pin that is pretty cool. Wisconsin Digger

What a great hunt! Some really nice items there. I've danced around the dates of a war nickel with a few finds, but never hit one with the right year.

[Timewarpdigger]

A really nice variety of finds. Keeps the hunt interesting. One never knows what they will find. congrats.

Congrats and echo others' sentiments on the great variety of items you found. Thanks for including the history of the ice skate pin. Always great to...pardon the pun...pin some history onto an item!

Thats a great bunch of finds. I've been doing some door knocking lately as well. It seems to increase the odds quite a bit.
Congrats on knocking on the right door!!!

Dave , you and Tony exchanging coin tallies for the "midwest supreme silver grand pooh-bah " title is very exciting to watch Gentlemen.

Nice variety there Dave. Them Cracker Jack prizes sure have gone down hill since most of us were youngin's.

congrats on your finds i like the pin its a nice find

[Tony Two-Cent]

Nice bunch of finds, Dave!

The coins and Cracker Jack token are really neat, but I think my favorite is the Alfred's ice skate pin. What a cool piece of Americana!

You didn't mention the Canadian coin. What is it?

Thanks Tony, I think I have enough of those Cracker Jack coins to join the mystery club now! The big greenie is a 1899 Canadian Large Cent. It was a perfect 12-38 at 6 inches. The war nickel+2 wheaties rang up as 11-29 at 3 inches deep. I REALLY though it was going to be a pulltab! The Cracker Jack token rang up as 09-48, 11-47, 08-48 at 7 inches or so. I was thinking BIG silver! Of course I tried to do a live dig and got the jinx! Have a good one, Dave.

Thanks Del, but Tony is such a great guy I don't want to "beat" him at anything. I want to ANNIHILATE him! Muhahahahahahahaha!

Congrats on the finds. I too was wondering why there was no mention of the Canadian and the IH. I don't think my machine has ever been wrong when it says there is a pull tab.
