    21 Silver Coin Day

    I had no desire to repeat yesterday's windy hunt at the Connecticut park, so today afternoon I hunted at a small local park. It turned out to be a very good hunt as the park yielded 21 silver coins. I bested the 15 silver coin day I had last year.

    I also found two large tokens, one larger than a half dollar, a mess of wheat cents and clad, and a gold-layered ring.

    This was my first silver coin of the day, a 1902-O Barber quarter.




    This next one is a 1912 Barber dime still encased in soil.




    And another silver coin still encased in soil, this one a Washington quarter.




    Here are the 21 silver coins together.




    The silver quarters, dated 1902-O, 1941, 1945, and 1947-D. The 1912 Barber dime has no mintmark.




    The mercury dimes, dated 1923, 1924, 1926, 1936, 1941, 1942-S, 1943, 1943, 1944, 1944, and 1945.




    The silver Roosevelt dimes.




    Twenty four wheat cents. Some fared better than others.




    The two tokens. I haven't tried to identify them yet.






    And finally, two religious pendants, a gold layered ring, and an amusement token.





    HH!

    You mean you only found one barber quarter?

    I'm sorry, but you knew I was going to say that

    That is an incredible haul Especially since that park had been hit before. I know we will see more good stuff that you have dug from there in the next few days Congrats!

    Hey, I tried for more, but the park was having none of it. There has to be more there though.

    Unfortunately I don't have much information on them. The larger token is apparently from a grease company? I can make out the words Use Albany Grease And Never Worry, but I haven't found any information on it. The other appears to be from what was a local jewelry store.

    I was thinking the same thing at the end of the hunt. There is likely one there somewhere.

    well i believe it wasn't the cheesey grin that made him look so silly (although i'm sure he had one ), no it was likely the giggling like a school girl all the while that was the silly part i'm sure .

    an amazing day Angel , and if you feel your being picked on a little for it . well you are .

    CONGRATULATIONS.

    Yeah, I did have a cheesy grin while detecting. I could have made an ad for Ultrabrite toothpaste.

    Thanks, George!
