Bicentennial Dollar! Silver, 2 shilling.......etc

[history hunter]

Went to the base today and had an alright day. I didn't see the wild flock of turkeys today there, but I did find a silver 1948 D Roosevelt. Also, I was surprised to pop out a Bicentennial dollar. The 2 shilling was about 8" down under a big root. Also found four wheats and about 3$ in clad. Thanks for looking!!

Wow! Great looking coin finds there history hunter!
Can you tell me why the Shilling looks dull in color and
yet the Rosie looks so good?
Or is that simply a reaction to the soil where you are?

Thanks,
Dave

No, I have the old teknetics 8000 with the old needle dial from about 1978. I have been using this machine since about 1978 or before. I am saving my found change and will get a new machine in the future. The machine is over 32 years old and still going!! Knock on wood!!

Nice Finds!
that $ coin must have been an ear ringer,
the Florin is the same Cupronickel alloy as a modern US/Canada Nickel.
Looking forward to your next post!
