2012 starts with silver!

[animal]

My first hunt of the year was at an old house. I got to the house and started across the yard first signal was an aluminum signal that I passed the second signal was a quarter signal which I dug. I was shocked that my very first hole dug was a 1962 quarter. I dug a couple other signals a penny then another quarter signal. A 1941 quarter third coin of the year. How could it start any better? I ended up finding another 1946 dime some wheat's and misc goodies. On my second hunt I found a 1936 and a 1945 quarter, a 1943s dime which ( I think) my be an inverted s and an rpm- re punched mint mark and a mystery copper. It looks to be very old and not American. I all so added some mystery pieces from December. The large silver piece is marked taxco with an R maker mark and 950. The spike has me totally stumped. I found it at a very old spot Ive hunted before. I need help iding these or they will allways be a mystery(HELP) I hope everybody has a good year in the field or waves.

taxco silver is very collectable, you probably shouldn't melt it until you find out whatit is

"The spike has me totally stumped.

Wild guess: golf marker? Is it big enough for that? Initials would ID whose it was.

Is the reverse of the Taxco plain as well? I agree, needs more research - what is it?

Neat finds!

Is that 1936 quarter plain? If it is a "D" then it could have some more value.

Kinda thought the spike thing your talking about looked like a key with end kinda deteriated off, but I wouldn't know what the initials stood for?
