Past 2 hunts yield Silver #2 & #3. Also a few more goodies.

Hit some construction area

Scored 2 silvers. 1909 and 1914 Barber Dimes. They look pretty rough. Detail is actually pretty great on the 1909, just tarnished.


Also got the following:

1909, 1937, 1941 wheat pennies
1902 Liberty Nickel
2 smoked Indianhead Pennies, cant read dates yet
1 zinc penny

Nice going! Were they in the water or very wet soil?

Look good to me-great in fact. You can still read the Liberty on the 09! Great finds

 

[Deerhunter24]

Mike, no they were in street work construction

The stuff on the 1914 Barber is almost like TAR.

The 1909 is just tarnished, but like MJC commented, you can read full liberty on it.
