Hello everyone!

I took a little extended lunch break today to do some detecting. I dug a 1941-S Merc dime, 1964-D Rosie dime, 1910-S Wheat cent, two 1917-S Wheat cents, six more wheats dating from 1937 to 1955, plus some clad.

I took pic's of the dimes before and after I cleaned 'em up. These are my silver coin finds #54 & #55 for the year. Also, I took a close-up picture of the date area on the 1910-S Wheat cent.

Thanks for looking!
Neil

Those Dimes cleaned up beautiful. Do you have a lot of competition up in Oregon ? I am in the NYC area, and almost all of the Silver has been cleaned out of the parks. I have found no Silver in the past 12 months.

Yeah, the parls are pretty well cleaned out of their silver. Every once in a while someone finds a silver coin that was missed, but all-in-all the silver is pretty much gone in any public area. I'm working on finding private property to hunt now.

THANKS!
Neil

Only 1 silver for my kids and me (got them an Ace 250 for Christmas '08). We found 1 quarter (1946) in a local park. We've done quite a bit of detecting too! I would say we do about 10 hours per month. When you say "private land", what in particular do you recommend? We live in the Mississippi Delta (cotton and catfish farms as far as you can see). Thanks.

Thanks man!

Yeah, probably not gonna hit the 100 mark like I did in 2008. But I'm sure trying! Last year I dug 100 silver US coins and 4 silver foreign coins.
