Indian Head, Shield Nickel, Barber Dime and a Kennedy Half

[Tony Two-Cent]

It was kind of an off weekend for me, I tried a bunch of new places and most of them seemed to be virtually hunted out. My hunt yesterday was cut short by rain, and today the finds were scarce.

Yesterday I tried a fairly large park in a town I had never been to before. The park was dedicated in 1882. All I found was a Shield Nickel and 3 wheat cents. So I drove on to the next small town and hunted an old park that is between the town's main street and the railroad tracks. I found an 1898 Barber Dime right off the bat, then it started to rain really hard so I gave up and went home.

Today I went back to both of those parks again, and only found a 1905 Indian Head, 2 wheat cents and a 1974 Kennedy Half Dollar. Oh well, even though the finds were sparse this weekend it was still better than being at work!

Here are my finds for the weekend:


And here are the keepers:


Only my 2nd Kennedy Half ever.


No date on the Shield Nickel, it is really worn.


Thanks for looking and happy hunting! :beerbuddy:

I'll bet when you dug that half up you thought to yourself If only this had been dropped 5 years earlier then it would be silver! As I was looking at your half it occurred to me that the word LIBERTY is copied exactly off of the WLH & Mercury dime. HH, Dave.
