    My latest loot

    I have been trying to get out more recently but its been tough even though the ground conditions are really nice right now. These finds are from the last 3 weeks or so of detecting. The pic of the 4 dimes with the broken skeleton key came from a new baseball field site that I think I can find a fair amount more there...we will see. I think it has been hit in the past but I found about $10 in quarters which tells me that it has not been detected in 4-5 years.

    This past weekend I was down in Ohio, setting up tree stands for deer hunting, and visited my honey holes from a few years ago. Managed a 1920 S merc, 1914 & 1930 Buffs, 1900 indian and cool store token, so I was thrilled with those finds!

    I just found the pin knife and the no date Canadian dime during my lunch break today. Silver during my lunch break is always satisfying.

    Wow, lots of old coins!

    I can't tell from your photo, what is the mint mark on the 1914 wheat cent? If it's a "D" that's a major key date and a rare find. Even an "S" mint mark is a semi-key.

    The Canadian Dime is a really neat find too. In all my years of detecting I've never found a silver Canadian coin.

    Congrats on the great finds!

    10 Large Cents, 415 Indian Heads, 2 Two Cent Pieces, 1 Capped Bust Half Dime, 1 Seated Half Dime, 10 Shield Nickels, 68 V Nickels, 124 Buffalo Nickels, 31 War Nickels, 16 Seated Dimes, 131 Barber Dimes, 405 Mercury Dimes, 249 Rosies, 4 Seated Quarters, 18 Barber Quarters, 20 Standing Liberty Quarters, 89 Silver Washingtons, 1 Seated Half, 3 Barber Halves, 16 Walking Liberty Halves

    That wheatie is a 1914 S. Like you said it is still a semi key date and it is remarkably clean...I have only wiped off the dirt.

    Being so close to the border I find lots of Canadian coins...those darn pennies of theirs ring up 12-45 so I often get my hopes up of a silver only to be dashed when Queen Elizabeth stares back at me.

    When you do a quick glance at the token it almost looks like a shield nickel with the look of the "5". Great variety of finds. I love those baseball fields especially in fall. WD
