    A Few More Silvers for the Year

    We tried a new town yesterday. The town was started in 1836 ( Old for around here ). Noah dug the only Old coin, but I'm happy with what I dug too!

    My first silver coin of the day was a 1921 2 Fr. from Switzerland. It's just a bit larger than a quarter.

    My second and third finds were a 43 Washington, then a 64 Rosie.
    My last two were a spill, a 41 Washington, a 42 Merc and a Wheat cent. You can see the stain on the quarter from the Wheat.
