18 Silver Coins - A Roosevelt Dime Fest

Today at about noon I opted to take a long drive to detect at a large field instead of hitting local parks. The site I had in mind is not very old, but I knew from a previous hunt that silver coins can still be found there, even if they are of the modern type.

Once there it was slow going at first, but eventually I got into a good groove and began to dig up old wheat cents and silver dimes. Most were Roosevelt dimes, but I wasn't complaining. After just over 5 1/2 hours of detecting I ended up leaving the site with 18 silver coins - 10 Roosevelt dimes, 6 mercury dimes, 1 Washington quarter, and 1 Kennedy silver half. I also dug up one large silver ring, but I neglected to take a photo.

Sort of gives one an inferiorty complex doesn't it Lee ?

Lee I can only imagine how much worse it hurts for you reading all Angles silver finding post. For me it just tells me I suck at metal detecting But for you being under five foot tall and sucking at metal detecting is more than some could bare. Not to mention you talk funny.

Awesome finds as always..
