I hunted a park a couple weeks ago where I found a rosie, merc, wheat and a buffalo nickel. I invited some club members along to hunt the park again. This is a large park with historical homes around it. My finds for today was a 1959 Rosie dime, 1928-s mercury dime, 1939 and 1941 wheat pennies (not the best of shape) and a small high school ring with red stone. It may be a charm or something as it has a small loop on the bottom. It has an eagle on each side and I am still cleaning to see if it has a year. I also found a token and parts of a cap gun and the usual clad. Others from the club also found rosie, mercs, wheats and another ring.

Congrats!

I would have taken those dimes GLADLY! Got a ring like you today, but your stone's bigger than mine (hope I can say that on a family forum site). And wheaties, too! I'd take the ring to a jeweler, just to check what kind of stone it is.

Randy, you did great considering the hot weather and dry soil in Tennessee this time of year. Dimes like those are nice ANY time of year. HH, Quindy.

Thanks Quindy. One of other guys found a mercury dime that at first looked like a clad dime. I have never seen one tarnished like that before. Usually the silver comes out very bright and clean. His looked like a common clad dime by color. I wondered if it had been in a fire or something to get that tarnished.
