Canadian Silver

[Carolina Tom]

I got out for a little hunting over the weekend. Got to see fellow Tnetters Kurtstuben and Smittyman. A couple of class act guys.

In the 5 years I have been detecting, I’ve never dug a Canadian silver coin. Well that changed this weekend. When I flipped this plug, I was delighted to see a silver dime.



It took me a minute to realize what I had. The boat on the reverse was the tip I needed. I also managed to dig a hand full of wheaties.



I got this medic’s collar disc. A close look indicates that I hit it with the digger, just barely though.



Here is a picture of everything, including a junk ring, millefiori earring and a lead toy pig.



YTD silver coin # 2

Thanks for looking and good luck on your hunts.

I don't know if we have ever seen a lead toy pig posted here - clearly that would be the outstanding find of the day !

Dime (and a pretty one to boot Carolina Tom, nice find!). Fish scales are silver nickels which I’ve heard don’t hold up super well in the ground due to being so thin. Still trying my first of those.

That's one way to bring home the bacon.
Congrats on the Silver
