    Found a Cool Million-Going to Retire

    Back to the same park I've been hitting the last three times. Over 300 coins and counting so far. Nothing heart stopping yet. Some wheaties, a silver 1894 Mexican 10 centavos, a couple of tax tokens, some other unknown tokens.
    Decided to retire after today though. I found a million dollars.....



    Well, maybe I shouldnt give up my day job just yet. Heres the World War II Army button I found today.......



    and the rest of the booty (or is that bounty ?).......



    I guess I'm going to have to clear all the clad out of this park to I can find some silver.........

    Nice pile of loot. It always amazes me how much money the public loses at the parks. The 1894 Mexican coin sounds like a beauty. I don't believe I have found one of those.

    lol love the million Congrats on your cool finds! That's a good way to look at it- clear the clad to find the silver. How old is the park/established anyway?
    Oldest silver-- 1838o seated dime (no stars)
    Oldest copper-- 1820 LC

    Them bills lol They sell them on E Bay and are very politically driven. I have a stack of them in all different pictures and comments. Is that a War nickel I see there? If it is, it's about 40% silver. Nice haul of clad and you may just increase your chances of finding some deep silver that way.
    Finding relics is in my blood
