It was supposed to be a very hot one today - and it was - but I just couldn't bear the thought of not hitting a park for at least a few hours. lol Not wasting time, I gathered my gear and headed out the door to drive up to the Boston area. The park I had in mind has plenty of large trees, and they would offer some shade from the hot sun. The park is very trashy though, so I had my work cut out for me.
I had expected to stay for no more than three hours, but that idea died once the silver started to show up. lol I did well, picking up a total of 15 silver coins - a 1947 Washington quarter, eight Mercury dimes, dated 1926, 1936, 1938, 1940, 1940-D, 1941-S, 1943-D, 1944, and six Roosevelt dimes, dated 1946, 1947, 1947, 1949, 1952, and 1963-D.
There were other finds as well. I'm not yet sure about the following, though it appears to be some sort of token. I attempted to clean it up a bit but I still can't make much of the details.
This ornate pocket knife's blade has long been rusted out. The handle appears to be made of silver though.
This one is a very nice find too - a Boston Faneuil Hall badge.
I also dug up sixteen wheat cents and a Canadian cent, but they are in poor shape.
And here is the trash and clad coins I dug up.

That knife is gonna have a beautiful design underneath that rust. And of course I see you found a little bit of shiny stuff too lol A couple of them Mercs look to be in great shape. That token is probably a merchant's (store) token, I'm guessing 
I see you are digging a lot more trash
