Hey all TNET members

Only been out for the third time this month.
Not much to really write about.
Got out for about 1 1/2 hours on this HOT DAY.
Went over to the NORWOOD PARK Corner House.
This is probably the 12 trip over there this year always manage to find at least 1 good find if not more.
Today was a fun day!!!!
Found a bunch of clad the first 15 minutes.
Got a good quarter signal at about 1 inch.
Dug the hole and out popped this chunk of metal. After looking at it I put it in the pouch.
5 minutes later I dug up a 1916S Barber Dime about a foot a way from chunk of metal.
I decided to look at the piece of metal after that and saw that it was 4 dimes melted together.
COOL 5 Silvers ..............
The 4 dimes are all Mercs. Can't see any dates....

In all it was a fun day....

Definitely one of my top 5 cool finds

Anyone else find melted coins. Post them here I would like to see some more.....Thanks DPSB

Interesting find, congrats on the silver! HH, Mike
 
I have found 2 coins from house fires in my days. One was a melted half and the other a dime. Never seen coins melted together though. Are you sure they were not soldered? You know how kids were back in metal shop in school. Nice Barber ;D

Definitely not soldered together.. I even put them in a pan over the flame to see if they were.. Nope they weren't...
