1943 & 1945 Merc dimes ~ 1952 Rosie ~ 1942 War nickel ~ 17 wheat cents

Hi there!

FINALLY got to get out detecting today after work . . . . . my buddy Ron and I sure like the extra day light we're getting after a day's work! Now we can get out for a few hours before the sun sets!

We both dug a few goodies! Ron dug a Rosie dime, War nickel, Buffalo nickel, and several wheat cents. I dug a 1943-S Merc dime, 1945-S Merc Dime, 1952-S Rosie dime, 1942-S War nickel, and 17 wheat cents dating from 1917 to 1955.

I took pic's of the silver coins before and after I cleaned 'em up. These dimes are my silver coin finds #25, #26, and #27 for the year!

Thanks for looking!
Neil

The extra daylight is every reason the detector goes with me everywhere now ... you never know when you might hear treasure calling. Keep those detectors humming and pictures posted.

Hey my friend, it seems like you just have a knack for finding the silver. I'm sure it's not luck either. A very hearty congrats to you!

Glad to see someone able to get out with all the rain we've been having on the west coast.

I'm about ready to go nuts, I've been house bound for two weeks chewing at the bit.

Way to go on the silver!
