Decided to play hooky from yard work today. Had the itch and went detecting at high noon. Not sure which would have been more work as the ground was pretty hard.

Today's finds...

1890 Seated Liberty Dime
1954 Roosevelt Dime
Sterling Saint Christopher Medallion
4 IHPs...188?, 1889, 1892, 1903

As usual, the IHPs are pretty rough. The Seated dime fooled me as it was a shallow target. I expected a Memorial and thought I had one when the dime popped out of the hole. It had stained brown for some reason. Had to take a little baking soda to it to get the detail.

Hard to say, but I'm going to guess 60yrs-70yrs old.
