Park yields my firs silver!!

[Baggins]

Well, I was gonna hit a new spot with Eddy today, but a change in work plans put a hault to that....after finishing up some work and some errands, I decided to go hit the soccer park I had hit the other day that had given my my first rings.....well today was no different. After hunting for about an hour, I finally got my first silver! Can't tell you how excited I was to pull out the plug, and see that silver looking out at me! All in all not in too bad condition either...along with the my first silver dime, I also had a fair amount of clad as well....six pennies, a nickle, seven dimes (not counting the silver one), and two quarters...also found a .380 round that was unexploded...kinda made me nervous...also with all the bolts I have been digging up I am thinking of starting my own hardware store if anyone is interested!

Good stuff. Congratulations on your first silver coin! Fun, fun, fun. Don't worry about the bullet. As long as you don't smack it good with something it's harmless.

Sean looks like you were smoking at that park today,, wow very nice silver dime, and nice other finds also, kinda spooky finding a hot round of .380 though, I am glad you didn't spear the primer with your digging tool,
Super nice job on the silver Congrats
Let me know when you are free to hunt again, Naturalite and I are ready to hook up and find some goods next time we are all off at the same time
Good luck till then

I am more of a relic hunter but am also fascinated with some of the coins everyone digs up on here and occasionally hit the parks to find clad. I actually hit a new park last weekend and found about 40-50 wheaties in a couple hours. But what I wanted to know and maybe someone can help me is "When did the U.S. Mint stop using silver to produce dimes?"

dimes quarters and half dollars stopped being 90% silver after 1964.
