3 silvers and a unique weight

[McCDig]

Hit a new Baltimore City park today with JC today and the results exceeded expectations. JC is always the "quarter hoarder", so his personal bests of 73 clad quarters and 30 wheats did not surprise me. I dug 90 clad coins: 31 were quarters and one Sacagawea dollar. 6 of my 20 wheats are from the 'teens. Best finds for me are the three silvers: 1936 merc, 1943 Washington, and a 1954 one bolivar coin from Venezuela. (JC dug a 1915 British penny for his foreign coin). Other notable items for me are a plated ring, a square-shaped flat button and a 2 drachms apothecary weight that may date from the late 19th century. The weight is a little greater in diameter than a nickel and much thicker. This one was manufactured by H. Troemner of Philadelphia.

Thanks Tom! Hunting this spot was light night and day compared to where I had been detecting.

Thanks Bryan! Yes, the man with the sore knees today.

Thanks vpnavy! We had a good day out on the Baltimore streets.

Thanks Trezurehunter! That's exactly the same word, "variety", that my fellow digger used to describe the finds of the day. He found a small ornate key, a small dreidel, and that large British copper from 1915.

Thanks Tommy! It's not the "fistful of dollars", but it was a "fistful of quarters" for both of us.

Thanks RVRoamer66! Wasn't that interesting about the apothecary weight? .....a first for me.

 

[McCDig]

Thanks ATW! Pretty amazing that we pulled 50 wheats between us. Most were from the 40s but a good number from the teens to the 30s and my silvers matched up with that date range.
