Once again, I was able to get Todd Lipe to take me on one of his "guaranteed to find silver" hunts... and once again, I found silver coins! It's like taking candy from a baby... FUN!
We met up early on Sunday morning and headed to a little hicktown, just up the road. The place has not seen much MDing pressure. I know this because I find silver coins every time I go there. We tried the usual places, parks, schools, vacant lots (tear downs) and a couple of old houses.
It was a good hunt for me. I was able to find:
(1.) Three silver dimes 1936, 1946 & 1956. (36 silver coins YTD)
(2.) Half dozen wheat cents.
(3.) Five "mill marbles". The mill uses these to make fiberglass.
(4.) Ring marked sterling with arrow through U makers mark.
(5.) Little pendant badge thingy. Griffin on the front. "WGERMANY" on the back, with a little snap. Any ideas what this is?
Once again, I owe Todd Lipe, a BIG 'thanks' for taking me on a killer hunt. It almost made up for him digging that SLQ, right in front of me on Thursday... Ouch, that stung.
Thanks for looking and best of luck on your hunts.
