Took my youngest boy dirt fishing last weekend. I managed a very nice 1886 "fishscale" 5 cent silver from O Canada. My boy caught a couple wheats and a nice Canadian LC from 1913.
Thanks for looking!

Great finds with the boy. Several years back I tried to get my kid involved, but even after a 4 silver quarter hunt he opted for the real thing. He is an avid Bass fisherman. That works out too. Congrats on the finds. WD
