Capped Bust Dime + Mercs

[angellionel]

Today I was able to get in about four hours of detecting, spending my time at three MA sites which are relatively close to each other. The first site yielded a beautiful 1821 Capped Bust dime and a 1926 mercury dime. I had to leave the site soon after digging the merc, since it was getting much too busy. I then headed to the second location where I dug up a 1942 mercury dime and a neat sterling silver ring. Finally before heading home I stopped at the third site, and from there I picked up a 1916 and 1944 mercury dime.

She sure is beautiful! It's my second Capped Bust dime this month.





It's that supposed to be Bambi on the ring? I'm not quite sure about the second marking. It appears to be cwop or owop.



HH!

The markings on the ring could be copyright walt disney productions. Just a thought. By the way nice capped bust dime. What I would do to find one of those.

The ring is actually silver. The seeming flaking is actually Bambi's paint job peeling off.

The rain has helped for sure. The ground at many of the sites I hunt had been turning dry and powdery, so a little moisture didn't hurt.

Actually, Angel, the Bambi ring is your best find of the day. It's from the 1950's and worth between $35 and $75 depending on condition! Disney produced sterling rings of all the cartoon characters in the 50's.

Yes, I checked - three times! I will find one eventually. I'll probably be like 90 by then though.
