Thursday was my day off, so being it was a beautiful fall Montana day, in the 50's & clear, I loaded up my compadres and went to Canada to my honey hole. Not lots of finds for 2 1/2 ish hours, but several good ones. I found 3 silver dimes, you have to love the variety of fins in Canada, a Merc, George 5th & George the 6th dimes. Also found an American wheatie, 1944, and some Canadian pennies 1936, 1942, 1952 & 1953. Found a clad dime & nickel, and few other modern pennies. My male schnauzer also found a fresh cow patty to roll in, so he got a field bath and a scolding, what are you going to do, a guy has to do what a guy has to do! :tard:

The old Canada dimes are hard to find with dates on them, this is about my 6th, and only the second I have with a readable date, they must have worn really fast! Anyway, I hope everyone is having a great weekend of detecting, and I sure enjoy seeing all the quality finds. A reminder that our season in Montana is rapidly coming to an end, it's snowing here today! I'm not ready for THAT quite yet! Take care folks...

Nice dimes! I would think, and have heard, that if the date of coins is on a high area of a coin it will wear off first. If the date is in the middle of the coin it would go the first, if by a raised edge it would last much longer.
 
Nice silver!Snow in early October,Ugh!!In Long Island I don't have to worry about snow until after Thanksgiving.
 
Nice finds, I love the old George V coins. I was digging teens wheaties today when finally I dug a Canadian penny, I thought cool, a nice old school "King" penny, nope, it was a 1963. Congrats on the nice silver. :thumbsup:
