After 6 Days At Work, I Was Rewarded With A Fishscale And Other Nice Old Collect

[John-Edmonton]

It was nice to head out straight after work, as I had taken my machine with me to work. I dug all the signals, and got a nice variety of finds. my favorite was a 1920 Fishscale(silver 5 cent piece) which are a rare find due to their size. Below is a shot of my coins after they were cleaned up.

Sure like that silver. Wonder what the small piece of silver is ?

Good days work John, the little 5 cent coins are sometimes hard to find, to bad the " fishscale" is not a 1921.

I thought of that all the way home after the hunt.

John,

Three years ago in the old park in The Pas, Manitoba, "my luckier than me" found two fishscales in a two foot area. One was a 1921. It was sold to the coin dealer in West Edmonton mall for $3,000. Too bad he had not kept it longer, as now it is worth double that. I have found three 1920's, and each time I look for the date, I am just hoping it will be another '21
