1929-S Merc ~ 1964-D Rosie ~ 1943-S War Nickel ~ 1920 German 50 Pfennig

[oddcoins]

Hello everyone!

The wife and I originally planned on going to the coast by ourselves (NO KIDS!) but after checking our finances we decide to save some money and stay in town and chill. We took a ride downtown ~ I found a nice spot to detect while the wife laid out in the grass and read a book. The weather was super nice today! Here's what I dug today:

1929-S Merc dime
1964-D Rosie dime
1943-S War Nickel
1951-S Jefferson nickel
1958-D Jefferson nickel
1920 50 Pfennig from Germany (aluminum)
four wheats cents ('42 to '57)
8 clad quarters
26 clad dimes
5 modern nickels
96 Memorial cents
Religious Pendant marked STERLING

The 1929-S Merc dime is just about Uncirculated! And the best thing about it is that I didn't scratch it when I dug it (I killed the last few mercs that I dug)! I took a close-up pic of the date area just for the fun of it. These dimes are my silver coin finds #51 & #52 for the year.

Thanks for looking!
Neil

Thanks man!

Yeah, Ron called me and said he dug a 1957 Rosie dime there ~ and Don found a silver ring. It's been years since I've dug a silver coin from that park.

LATER!

WTG on those older coins, especially the silver. You had do do plenty of digging to pull 142 coins

I'd have to be committed (to a facility, if you get my drift) if I dug 96 memorials in a day! I guess the silver made it worth your while!

THANKS!

Yeah ~ it sucks digging so many Memorials but I can't help myself! Friday I dug 106, Saturday I dug 96, and Sunday I dug another 106 (only counting the copper ones, not zincs!)
