Silver Dime Trifecta, Pig Jawbone, Three-Ringer Bullet?

[Captn SE]

Hello Everyone,

My silver coin streak with the new SE Pro coil extends to 7 consecutive hunts.

Today, I had about 4 hours to kill, so I headed to a park that I've been to many times before. In fact, it's the park I've found the most silver at this year so far. I'm always saying to myself, "I wonder if there's anything left?" And my machine usually tells me, "Yes there is!" About 30 minutes into the hunt, I found my first dime of the trifecta, a '37 Merc. 10 minutes later, I dug the three-ringer bullet that was about 50 ft up the hillside. Anyone who can provide more info on this bullet I'd appreciate it. Maybe a .45-70 round, Indian War Era? I don't usually find bullets like this around here. After coming off of the hillside, I dug my 2nd silver dime: An '06 O barber in very nice shape. Sweet!! What do you think? Maybe a $100 coin? Each letter of "LIBERTY" is visible on the wreath. It was right next to a chunk of nulling iron. Just about that time, my buddy, Mike(ratman) arrived with his Dad. He proceeds to show me the '64 silver Rosie he found in the tot lot, and I show him my finds up to that point. I was moving down the slope about 50 yards from my barber dig, and noticed a jawbone with teeth protruding from the dirt. Looks like it had been there for some time. I was told by an expert that it is a Pig's jawbone. I picked it up and placed it in my pouch. That's something else I don't usually find on a detecting trip. I finished the day with a '64 Rosie, which was on the dirt hillside to complete the Trifecta. So, all in all, a good day, with a couple of unexpected finds. One of the old pennies I dug turned out to be a 1921 Canadian cent. Is this the first year Canada made the smaller penny?

Thanks for looking!!
Good luck to all!!

Thanks, Nate! I don't post my year totals on my signature anymore, but I still keep a database of my finds (park name/silver coinage found). It's 192 silver coins, 23 pieces of silver jewelry. Nowhere near last year's, but thats to be expected. I'm still having a blast!!

Thanks, Jack. It turned out to be a great day for me. That was my first barber from the area of the park I hunted at today, and without a doubt, the best shape barber so far this year.

Nice hull for the day, the "three ringer" is more modern of a bullet. wish i could find three differant types of dimes in one day.

Nice looking Barber congrats on that my man

Hey Dan,
Nice finds! I'm not positive, but I think the bullet is a 45-70. Not really that modern.
In fact they were used quite heavily in the 1870's thru the beginning of the century.
I hunted an old military fort, Fort Crawford, in Colorado, which was around in the 1870's
and I found so many 45-70's I could hardly carry them so I had to start a small pile.
Those silvers are in very nice condition!

That is a sweet Barber Dan! 192 silver coins is incredable!I have 59 and I will feel lucky if I can score 100 and the few Barbers I get are worn You certainly have the silver touch and the time to hunt ,which equals a whole lot of silver.I guess the having the Explorer helps too!

[silverfreak]

Dan...that barber's a BLAZER
I'm glad that coil has brought those parks of yours "back alive". Every time I see a post from you...I'm already smilin' before I view it

[Dr. Ace]

Sweet finds there, Dan. Congratulations on the trifecta. I'm always amazed at the amount of silver you continue to pull out of the ground. I hope it never runs out!

Thanks, WeaponsUSMC, for that info. I'm getting some conflicting pieces of info on that bullet from this site and another one. Someone stated it could be a .45-70 round from the late 1800's to 1900 era.

Great job on the silver ,did the same thing yesterday.

Thanks, ModifiedMike99. Yes, I saw your post. Awesome!!

Thanks, Watercolor. Yes, I'm hunting over the same pounded, pillaged spots that I've been going to all year, and all last year. It's been a little more difficult to find a new park that I haven't been to that will produce silver as opposed to a park that I've been to before, and have found silver at.

Congrats on another great hunt Dan thumbsup thumbsup thumbsup

Thanks, Slabman, for the info on my bullet. After looking at bullet photos on the Net, It sure looks like a .45-70 to me also.

Thanks, Tom. Yes, having the Explorer helps. I put my dues in with the machine. Now, I'm reaping the benefits of having one. I hope you can get to 100! With your recent purchase, I think it will be possible.

Thanks, Dr. Ace. The silver is dwindling around here. It's going to be taking more time and patience to continue to pull the oldies out of the turf around here.

The jawbone is interesting. It has been obviously been sawed on one end. Nothing definite, but I see quite a bit of similar material in Victorian era trash deposits.

Usually when I find any quantity of butchered animal bone in an urban environment, I also find Barber and Seated Liberty coins.

Nice Barber.

Thanks, Plehbah. Yeah, I'm thinking this was a whole roasted pig brought to the park for a large celebration. The scraps were thrown into the small trashcans there, and later removed by the wild animals into the hillside. A pig's jawbone was the last thing on my mind when I discovered it.

Here's a pic one of my buddies created from my original, in addition to a known pig jawbone.
