Another Lunch break hunt ~ BIG silver, medium silver, and small silver coins!

[oddcoins]

Hello Friends!

Well, it was such a nice sunny day today and my office wasn't busy at all, so I took an extended lunch break to do some more detecting! Here's what I dug today:

1952-D Franklin Half dollar
1954-S Washington Quarter
1944-S Mercury Dime
Aluminum PLAY COIN 10c
50 Cal. round
2 Tooties Toy trucks
11 wheat cents ~ 42-S x2, 44-S x2, 45-S x2, 46-D, 46-S, 52-D, 57-D, & 58-D
4 clad quarters
7 clad dimes
1 modern nickel
53 Memorial cents
"Jack & Jill" themed lapel pin

I dug this stuff in Springfield ~ which is not far from where I live in Eugene Oregon. The strange thing is that until today I had never dug a single silver coin in Springfield! I've dug plenty of wheats and modern pocket change there in the past ~ now today I dug three silver coins in one yard!

I took pic's of the silver before & after I gently cleaned them up. And a close-up picture of the play dime just for the fun of it. It's amazing how well those little guys come in on my White's XLT ~ it actually came in better than the 1944 Merc dime! WEIRD!!

Thanks for looking!
Neil

Hi Neil !

Congratulations on your great find of silver !

I have a link you might want to check out if your interested in finding out about your play coin. I found this a couple years ago when I found my first play coin.

If you go down to page 39 it will list your play coin and if you want to find out a little bit more go to page 41 and read about the Tracies Company.
