    Old Coins and Relics on the 4th of July

    This weekend I was able to go detecting on both Friday and Saturday. I hit several old parks, some which I had hunted before and some that were new to me. I didn't find any super hot spots but I got some keepers nevertheless.

    Here are all of my coin finds:

    Yet another Dime Trifecta. Great job Tony. Thats a nice bunch of coins there. I really like the octagon token. does the back have a location?
    I see you find those bike reflectors too. Alec and I seem to be a magnet to those things.

    on the trifecta. Very nice pile of keepers, we don't get to see many early Canadian cents. Of course what would be a Tony Two-Cent hunt without a couple of IH's.
