5 cent silver seem hard to come across, I'm sure lots were lost, but maybe they sink out of range, and on edge don't make much of a signal ?

Anyway was out in some drizzel was just enough moisture to keep you cool, not enough to get you wet. Kind of nice for a change seems it has been hot and sticky for ever.

I was detecting along a tree line and saw a piece of glass, a couple of steps further along get the first decent signal, and it turns out to be a sweet 5 cent silver. I don't rub silver in the field so I didn't know the date at the time but it was a Geo V. Made the turn for another pass, and when I got to about the same spot I get another, this one, an Edward. Two silvers...now I am excited imagining all the silvers I am about to find. Well that didn't happen, and two silvers was all she wrote, but did get an 1870's indian shortly there after. I will to clean it up a bit. Most of the 70's are scarce dates. so we'll see.

This is the first, and second 5 cent silver of the year. 1907, and 1911 always happy to find one.

Great finds!
 

Can you post front-side of your 5 cent pieces? I found an 1891 Canadian half dime. Would love to compare.

Yours would have been "vicky"

Nice Fishscales! Those can be easy to miss, especially when they are deep, or on edge. I haven't found one this year so far, I'm really hoping to snag one yet. Congrats on finding the old IH penny, so cool to find them in Canada...
 

Very nice silver Rick. :hello2: Congrats on the IH, too.

What detector were you using and roughly how deep were the silver? Just curious.

Glad you're getting out. :icon_thumleft:

Still swinging the Omega, I like it, and it packs up well for the bicycle trips.

The coins were not over 6 inches.

Went back today for another short go, and got a nice old copper.
