    37 Silver Coins + Gold

    I met up with midas to again detect at the lake we worked this past weekend. The results were even better this time around. I found four gold rings - two 10k and two 14k - two silver and two junks rings, old wheat cents, one Indian Head cent, buffalo and wartime silver nickels, a vintage Mickey Mouse bangle, several religious pendants, and thirty seven silver coins.



    The halves are dated 1918, 1941, and 1943.



    The Standing Liberty and Barber quarters are dated 1910, 19??, and 19??.



    The Washington quarters are dated 1932, 1935, 1942, 1944, and 1947.



    The dimes are dated 1912, 1917, 1917, 1919, 1920, 1923, 1923, 1924, 1934, 1935, 1936, 1936, 1939, 1940, 1941, 1941, 1941-S,1942, 1942, 1942-S, 1943, 1943, 1946, 1946, 1947, and 1962-D.



    The buffalo nickels are dated 19??-D, 1916, 1920, 1928, 1930, 1935, 1935, 1936, 1936-D, and 1937.



    The wartime silver nickels are dated 1942-P, 1943-P, 1943-P, 1943-P, and 1944-P.



    The school ring is from 1919. I love the signet rings.



    This vintage Mickey Mouse bangle should be worth a bit.



    Yet more religious pendants.



    Silver and junk rings.



    The wheat cents and the Indian Head cent.



    The rest of the 'good' stuff.





    Enjoy the weekend!

    HH!

    Until that place empties out, I don't believe we will see you on dry land ever again 37 That's probably the best day you ever had. Gold, Silver and some great other finds. Congrats on such a super day!! How did Midas do??

    Shallow water detecting has been a nice change from detecting at the parks in the heat and humidity we have been having.

    Midas did well. He did find a 1895 wedding band.

    Nice hunt Angel , but what are you going to do when you are only finding 10 silvers a day on land And I like those buffs, most seem to have pretty clear dates.

    The poor E-Trac is sobbing uncontrollably in a dusty corner somewhere, all rejected, while you are becoming one with the Excalibur.

    Would love to see photos of those coins cleaned up. That is an incredible haul! Love the bracelet -- how much is it worth?

    WOW!!! The only problem is, by the time I figure the E-Trac out there will be nothing left in the state to hunt. Again WOW!!!!!

    Holy moly you are rockin' in the water!!! I think I mentioned before it seems strange how soooo many religious pendants are found in shallow water? I take it you were hunting common swimming areas. I am so intrigued by this underwater hunting- never tried it out. I should hang out in this section more

    So you use a scoop and snorkel/mask or is it too murky to even bother? How deep is the water in general- knee high, waist high and dive for a scoop? thousand questions...

    The E-Trac was due for a short vacation.

    John looked up the bracelet in a collector's book he has, and there is a bracelet almost the same as the one I found, with values starting at $200. We are not yet sure if the same value would apply to mine.

    No, no snorkeling. I do use a long-handle stainless steel scoop and just dig for the targets while standing chest or shoulder deep.

    It certainly was fun being in the water while having those 90+ temperature days. It is actually a relaxing way to spend some time detecting.

    Thanks, Dan!
