I was lucky enough to find the silver dime trifecta over the weekend, it took two days, but I'm kinda slow. I also entered the 1800s silver club. It was a good weekend for me!

Saturday:
Todd Lipe invited me to come up and hunt with him on one of his "guaranteed to find silver coins hunts". How could I resist an invite like that? I was able to find a pocketknife, front end off of a big Tootsie, Merc and barber dimes, two wheats and a Canadian cent and a marble. The marble is the raw material from which fiberglass is made. Tylerbdad ID'd it for me. He said that as a boy he got them from a guy at the local mill, and used them as "shooters". You never know what will turn up.

Sunday:
Todd Lipe, Kurt Stuben and I met up at 8:00AM on Sunday, and we headed to one of my super secret silver honey holes. Todd wasn't out of the car for 10 minutes, and I hear the shrill squeal of "... silvah... silvah..." He had found his first silver coin with his Deus! I got a Rosie, seven wheat cents and an Arby's token. It was getting hot, so we headed home a little after 1:00.

YTD silver count: 24

Thanks for looking and good luck on your hunts.

What a great weekend hunt, congrats on the silvers, Tom. But the real prize is the Arby's token. They are the home of the big meats, now go redeem that token before you starve! 8-)

Thanks for the ID on the marble. The fact that you recognized it from your youth (a really, really long time ago) and figured out what they were used for, just amazed me. Cool history lesson for me. GL&HH.

Nice job CT. Congrats on the Barber! I have yet to find one of those or any 1800's silver yet.

I'm trying to recall it I have ever had a bi-fecta. (Merc and Rosey on same day) :)
