I dug a BIG SILVER COIN today! 1943 Australian Florin!!

[oddcoins]

I didn't think I was going to find anytime to go detecting today but I decided to hunt a little park in Springfield that I never knew about until last week. My 16 year old son got a job at the Food for Lane County Youth Farm in Springfield ~ I dropped him off for his first day of work and noticed this little community park near by. The park's sign states that the park was established in 1954. So I thought I'd try it out! Here's what I dug today:

1943 One Florin Australia on a ring with a key
11 clad quarters
23 clad dimes
14 nickels
53 memorial cents
2 2007 Chuck E. Cheese tokens
1 LTD bus token

Nice digs

It sure is handy to have the detector in the car should you happen to see places you just happen to be passing by.

I'd love to find some spots to detect in St. Anthony! Maybe find an old trade token or two!
