    Morning hunt, silver coin ring!

    I got out this morning to the park I found the 1873 Netherlands coin hoping to score some more similar finds. Nothing that old this time, but I did find 2 wheats (one mower damaged), plus a really cool 1943 Australian Shilling coin ring.
    On a side note, stopped by my local park to realize we've been invaded by flying fertilizer factories!
