Great Finds! and in good condition too! Did you use some form of preservative on the nickel?

Great finds, and photos!? Love hi-res...?

I hate to be the anal-typo person, but the Barber dime photo is 1906, not '03 like the text, and is the nickel an '05?? But it's the best coin photo I've ever seen, really nice detail.

Nice finds. Your grounds look as harsh as mine are here. There should be something older around. Your going to have to keep digging all that trash to find it.

Keep up the good work Jeremy

Jake.....I actually tried wetting it just before I layed it down to take its picture...and in the light it was in....it worked!!

Sugar....see how excited I was!! ?thanks.....i corrected them of course?

Jer ... the ground here in the Hudson Valley, NY is indeed coarse and hard on coins.

I'll post the flip sides of the same coins......tonight?

That water thing worked quiet good! I have a thing called "Coin Care" that does the same thing but doesnt make the surface look wet, and it stays on forever.
