Big Silver, little silver and old copper

[skierbob]

The last couple times out, I hunted around an old playground area that I had done well at in the past. The playground area dates to the early 20th century. However, the area has been in use for recreation alot longer than that. I don't want to say more than that for fear of giving the spot away.

This first item will show you how old the area is. I found 2 of these Britannia copper pieces that day, but only one of them has enough detail remaining to tell what it is. It's dated 1753.





Here's a big silver 1937 Walker:





Three little silver dimes:



Some old wheaties:

A neat little lion pin:

Thanks for looking.

Don't worry, plehbah. I only fly into Denvah to go skiing. But I sure would like to hunt that big park along I-70 one of these days.

Nice one. George II halfpenny, pretty sure a cast counterfeit.

Good post Bob, think when you get to Denvah next time, detect the slopes

To possibly verify the KGII being a cast, see if there is any evidence of file marks on the edge of the coin, a lot of the KGII cast coppers have file marks......

Well I'd bet $100 it's cast... that's some good evidence too because I don't like losing money.
