We had rain this morning, so I was beginning to think that being able to get out for an afternoon hunt would have to wait until Saturday. But the rain soon ended and my plan to head to the park was back on track. Today I had a mixed bag of finds, with silver, copper and gold ending in my pouch.
I had a terrific day with the old silver, picking up three Trimes, a seated half dime, and a half reale.
The Trimes are dated 1852, 1855 (139,000 minted), and 1859 (365,000 minted).
This seated half dime is beautiful! She will join the other two I found this past Saturday.
Another Spanish silver to add to the collection - a 1796 half reale.
This was a cool find - a 1922 Pittsburgh Railways token.
I also dug up one 1943-S silver wartime nickel, a 14kt gold ring, another gold piece that appears to be part of a cufflink, a corroded 2-Cent piece, and a 1853 large cent.
These make up the rest of the finds - 8 corroded Indian Head cents and 14 wheat cents. I did pick up a few more wheat cents after I took this photo.
