Hello!

The weather here in my area of Oregon was super nice & sunny today! I took a little extended lunch break to do some detecting. Here's the break down:

1940-S Mercury dime
1947-D Jefferson nickel
3 wheats ~ '41, '47, & '55
2 clad quarters
3 clad dimes
2 modern nickels
21 Memorial cents

This Merc dime is my silver coin #16 FOR 2009! The poor thing was quite ugly & discolored when I dug it ~ but a nice baking soda and warm water bath sure turned it pretty again!

Neil

Congrats on a great lunch Neil!
Silver is always good to find on your lunch hour.
You may consider eating once in a while so you
don't waist away to nothing!!! LOL

Do you ever eat on your lunch hour? Cause I wouldn't either if I found the stuff you find lol. I'm looking forward to more of your lunch hour finds. Last years were great!

Nice job oddcoins! I can confirm the weather was AWESOME in Oregon yesterday! I got out for a few hours in short sleeves and shorts for a quick hunt. Managed a nice clad count, but no silver, you lucky dog! Take care.
