Hi all,
Hunted that notorious silver beach for a couple hours after work today. They were fencing in the area where all the excavation had been done, so I was just focusing on cleaning up any goodies from the fourth. To my great surprise a dime, which I assumed was going to be clad, showed a beautiful silver reeds--1942-d merc!. Within 10 minutes I found a 1949-d wheat, and then later another wheat. Not bad when I went without much in the way of expectations! I've only been hunting since late March, but now I can cross a merc off the list. I didn't have to clean any of these coins either!


Plus last Saturday hunted a preserve. Found this cub scout kerchief holder and also ring. The ring is stamped "Lia Sophia." I found the ring in a fall 07 Lia Sophia catalogue. That is one hefty cz -- 19 ct. It said the retail was $66
Who would pay that for costume?
