1942 Mercury dime ~ two '45-S War nickels ~ 1959 Rosie dime ~ Sterling buckle

Mike & I went detecting for several hours today ~ we met Ron later in the day. It was great to see Mike dig a Merc dime & an Indian Head cent! After Mike & I left Ron calls me and tells me that he's dug another Barber Quarter!!

Here's what I dug today:

1942-S Mercury Dime
1959-D Silver Rosie 10c
two 1945-S War nickels
1947-S Jefferson 5c
6 wheats ~ '37-s, '38-s, '41-s, '44-s, '44-d, 48-s
48 Memorial cents
2 nickels
7 clad 10c's
4 clad 25c's
blank or "slug"
Small "STERLING" Silver buckel
1951 Oregon License plate exp. tag
1957 Oregon License plate exp. tag

I think much of the little buckle when I found it today ~ but when I got home and cleaned it up I saw "STERLING"!! SCORE!!!

And the blank disk is kind of a mystery ~ it's just a touch bigger in diameter than a US nickel, but only about 2/3rd's as thick. It's totally blank ~ maybe a token blank, or a foreign coin blank, or a "SLUG"?

Thanks for looking!
Neil

congrats on finding more silver and wheats
the buckel is neat looking...... any idea what it was used for or how old?
the war nickels look in good shape and the license tags are definately expired!!
Hope to hook-up this weekend somewhere HH Gold Nuggets

Thanks Richard!

I'm not sure what that Sterling buckle came off of ~ I assume just someone's belt! It's got to have some age to it because I dug it at about five inches deep.

I won't be doing any detecting this weekend. Right now it's almost 9:am on Saturday morning ~ we're going to be driving up to Portland soon to go to my daughter's softball games (a double header). We're staying the night at my Sister's place and driving back late Sunday. Hopefully next weekend we can go detecting together!
