1920-D Merc Dime ~ 1964-D Rosie Dime ~ 14 Wheat cents ~ & MORE

I've got lots of vacation time to use before I lose it ~ so I'm off of work until the 30th of April!

I went detecting for about five hours today! Here's what I dug:

1920-D Mercury Dime
1964-D Roosevelt Dime
14 Wheat cents ~ 37-S, 41-S, 42-S, 43 (YES 43!), 44, 44-S, 45-S, 49-S, 50-S, 53-S, 55-D,
57-D, 58-D, 58-D
88 Memorial cents (not pictured)
36 clad dimes
9 clad quarters
1 nickel (ONLY ONE!)
a couple toy cars
a token

I found what I assume is a 1943 Steel cent ~ it was stuck between the 1944 & 1949-S Wheat cents! COOL!

I took pictures of the two silver dimes with my cell phone just as soon as I saw the sign of silver!

Wow, you had a great day!

That 20 Merc is a sweet find. . . and the only way that 43 survived, was in that "Wheaty" sandwich

Enjoy the rest of your vacation!

Wow, Neil, you're going to have lots of detecting time for the remainder of the month.

I've found some of those crusty pieces of iron attached to wheaties also. On a couple of mine, you can actually see the shape of the steel penny sandwiched between the two wheaties.

14 wheats/2 silver? Come on, you're slacking off!!

Nice finds. Have fun on your vacation!!

You seem to have the "silver touch" this month. congrats on some good finds and hope it doesn't rain too hard this weekend. Was the '43 in decent shape or was it like my IH? Gold Nuggets

NO NO NO ~ the 43 is in horrible shape! Can't even make out that it's a coin ~ I'm just assuming it's a steel cent because it's a rusty disk that was sandwiched between two wheat cents. Take a look at the pictures I posted ~ it should be obvious which one is the steel cent ~ it's UGLY!

What were they thinking when they made those steel cents What a failure they were. Not many dug ones are in decent shape are they?

WTG on the finds, your Merc is an oldie..my oldest so far is a '35.
