    Nice $5 coin found-- Mexican

    Took the Fisher F5 out to a park area to search for coins.
    And I did find some....................

    In the totlot I dug 2 JFK halfs, from under the plastic tire swing and 2 Mexican dollar coins. The Mexican $5 coin ( too bad it wasn't a USA $5 coin :-\) was off to the side a little bit. I dig manage to get a few coins from the concrete slab--- that is normally our dirt. I think I bent my Lesche...( just kidding.. )

    Got $8.29 more to add to my clad bucket.....83 USA coins and a nice shiney 2010 Rat token ( Chuck-E-Cheese)

    It's starting to get in the high 80's and pretty soon those 100 degree temps will have us southerners inside, trying to stay cool.

    Hate to be the one to say so but the dollar sign on mexican coins means Peso. A peso is a dime - or therabouts. So your 5 dollar one is 50 cents. But the good news is that it's current and can be redeemed. Steve in so az
