A Few Good Weekend Finds

[angellionel]

These are the finds from my past three hunts, Friday through Sunday. The seated dimes made my weekend, especially the 1874. It's in beautiful shape.

Friday

I found these at a Connecticut park. The dimes are dated 1918 and 1920.



The religious pendant is plated. I like the old wheat cents though.



Saturday

I was supposed to meet up with midas to detect at a scraped site but I got there a bit late. I overslept. I was hoping to pick up some old coins but I had to leave after detecting for an hour so. I did find a few wheat cents and some old buttons, but no silver. Then on my way home I passed a town common I had detected last year, so I decided to return there later in the afternoon. It turned out well, as I picked up three silver dimes, dated 1874, 1898, and 1918. I also dug up four Indian Head cents, dated 1887, 1888, 1897, and 1907.





There were several old wheat cents too.



The rest of the stuff, a few buttons, a 1924 dog tag, and other miscellaneous items.



Sunday

Today I headed to Central MA to scout out several sites. Three of the sites have had their grounds redone but I still spent time detecting them, just in case. Another two sites yielded a few good targets, a 1917 mercury dime, a 1889 seated dime, a five cent token, a sterling silver ring, a 1883 Indian Head cent, and several old wheat cents.









Not a bad weekend at all.

HH!

That thingy? I don't know. It's lucky it even ended up in my good finds pouch. I will have to take a closer look. I'll let you know.

Is that all you find is junk? What a great couple of hunts. Two really nice Seated Dimes and all the rest of the stuff. I bet you don't even know how many Seated you have You need a secretary just to log your silver Great finds!! It's a nice thing, that older machines were incapable of finding the deeper silver coins until now. It makes a lot of them Barber and Seated.

I really need to start placing them all in 2X2 holders.

The 1874 seated was fairly deep, 9 1/2 to 10 inches. The other two dimes were no deeper than 8.

Great finds Angel. Most folks who get a dime trifecta, get the Rosie-Merc-Barber version. You pulled the Seated-Barber-Merc trifecta! Amazing. Congratulations. Be careful though, I am up to 14 silvers for the year and might try to catch you!!! muhahahahahahahahaha.....

[catskillcomics]

As usual Angel... WOW!
To think its just June and you have already exceeded last years Silver count...

[randy]

I like that old ring, and of course the seateds. WTG

[Geodawn]

Those seated are high on my list this year. I figure I'm finding shield nickels, the seated have to be here somewhere.

Inspiring finds!

Not quite, but almost there. Last year I ended up with 447. This year the count so far stands at 422.

Inspiring finds!

I agree. That site may yield a few such coins if you are digging nickels that old.

[sniffy]

you do very well!

[handyman]

Very nice finds. The seated coins are always a great find.
