Hi All,

A few weeks ago I posted two finds from a small park near my house:

http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,175399.0.html

I went out on Thursday this week and went over the area again. Within a 10 ft diameter from where I found the two coins in the previous post, I got a dime hit at only about 2 inches. My expectation was a clad dime due to the depth. I cut a shallow plug and when I flipped the turf up, I silver dime dropped out of the roots - almost the same as how the half dime revealed itself. The area is loaded with shale and I am starting to think that these coins were all transported as fill from somewhere else. (I think I might go back :wink: )

Thanks for looking!

Nice!!! When I pulled my barber dime out today, I saw the same reverse and couldn't wait to flip it over just in case it was another seated. No such luck but I am not complaining either. You might want to do a little research and find out if you are right on that being brought in. Ya never know, it might lead you to more good info. Great job!
