Went to a park on Thursday night. Found 3 silver dimes – 1941, 1952D and 1953D, an 1895 IH, 6 wheats and a circa 1930 “Pie Eaters Tim” pin that I identified on the internet was used to promote a boy’s clothing company in the 1930s
This morning I decided to try a new park I had never been to. It started out pretty slow only finding one wheatie in the first hour. Then I think I found an old/unfilled area of the park and started finding some goodies. First was an 1892 very worn Barber dime that looks like it stayed in circulation for 50 years before being lost. Then I found a silver dime at the other end of the condition spectrum – a very crisp 1942 Merc in literally AU condition. Got a few more wheats and then a first for me – a 1904 Canadian big penny – never found a Canadian large cent before.
