Another Lunch break hunt ~ BIG silver, medium silver, and small silver coins!

[oddcoins]

Hello Friends!

Well, it was such a nice sunny day today and my office wasn't busy at all, so I took an extended lunch break to do some more detecting! Here's what I dug today:

1952-D Franklin Half dollar
1954-S Washington Quarter
1944-S Mercury Dime
Aluminum PLAY COIN 10c
50 Cal. round
2 Tooties Toy trucks
11 wheat cents ~ 42-S x2, 44-S x2, 45-S x2, 46-D, 46-S, 52-D, 57-D, & 58-D
4 clad quarters
7 clad dimes
1 modern nickel
53 Memorial cents
"Jack & Jill" themed lapel pin

I dug this stuff in Springfield ~ which is not far from where I live in Eugene Oregon. The strange thing is that until today I had never dug a single silver coin in Springfield! I've dug plenty of wheats and modern pocket change there in the past ~ now today I dug three silver coins in one yard!

I took pic's of the silver before & after I gently cleaned them up. And a close-up picture of the play dime just for the fun of it. It's amazing how well those little guys come in on my White's XLT ~ it actually came in better than the 1944 Merc dime! WEIRD!!

Thanks for looking!
Neil

Lots of goodies! I like to find the old tootsie toys....and of course...silver!

 

[halfdime]

Nice finds! I found one of those Jack and Jill pins a few years back; you wonder where they came from.

WOW! Congrats on all that SILVER!!!!

I think your "Thin Dime" aluminum coin came from the same game of which I found a "Henny Penny". Does it say something about "Chicken Feed" on the other side? Sure looks like the same style of press as my Henny Penny.

Congrats!

Great bunch of finds. I have been through both Eugene and Springfield. Never did any metal detecting in either town, but when I was doing some schooling in Newberg I enjoyed getting out on the weekends and driving around, taking pictures, and getting different post office cancellations on a set of stamps.
Am from the LaGrande/Elgin area. Have done a little hunting in that area, but almost none in the Salem area, where I lived when going to school.

Good luck on future hunts. Keep finding the big, medium, and small size silver......

No, the other side has an image of a steamy cup of coffee and "10" & "TEN". I've dug a dozen of these over the last 15 years!

WTG Neil....Woohoo....Big silver!

 

[litefire56]

With finds like that, I wouldn't be eating lunch either. Nice scores Neil!

Ice cream could not have made for a sweeter lunch than that silver. Congrats!
