How does one find 2 silver coins amounting to $0.08 ?? I'll show ya!

Had to share this one...

Local park in Maryland still giving up the goods.

So how does someone find 2 silver totaling eight cents? I suppose a half dime and a three center would be a good guess. This time it's a war nick and a 3 center! I had to share because it is my second 3 cent silver this month, and I've never even found one in 15+ yrs of digging! (The first one was toast...)

Anyway, found the 'trime' at about 5", right above a small nail, and an oyster shell shard.

Two of the indians were stuck together in the hole at about 8". You can see the shiny copper reverse of one. Cool! The two coins that were stuck together were 1873 (worn so can't see if DDO) and 1884. Also had a nice spill consisting of 2 buffs, 1 wheat and 1 transit token.

All found with F75LTD, NEL tornado 12x13 coil, boost mode, 87 sens, usually running 20 disc at this spot and digging everything.

I think this is the first time that I have seen someone find a 3-cent in a park.

I wished my parks were that old. About all that I can wish for is late 1800s or turn of the century spots.
