OK results ? Are you joking ? for the rediculously small amount of coin you searched, you
scored large ! Man if you were metal detecting for a month , you'd be so geeked to find those
quantities ! massive score on the numbers ! do the math ---- Argentium.

What's the mint mark and date of the washer ? I may be missing that one.







Nice results and thanks for the pics. JP

What is every day supposed to bring hundreds of silvers? :icon_scratch: You have a day like you had today once a month and you should be thrilled! We sometimes get so used to finding the silver we forget many of us used to scrounge for weeks in the dirt to find a silver rosie.

Alright, maybe I need to choose my discriptive words more carefully. This was a better than OK find on the halves considering I looked through less than a box worth. Finding any coin thats over 100 years old is always fun.

For the pictures I use a Nikon D200 with an 18-200mm lens. I would really like to invest in a macro lens in the near future. For the close-ups of the Pfennig I used a Kodak DX7630 Point-N-Shoot through the eyepiece of a binocular microscope.
