I'm back on LI for a week and since there's no snow here, I had some time to detect. I went to one of my favorite spots out east and found a 60 cents in clad and a buckle and 1945 mercury dime near the end.
However, my parents outdid me with finds not with a detector. My mom is a manager at a bank with a coin counting machine. She is responsible for cleaning it out every once in a while. It has a magnet , so it picks out 1943 steel cents, foreign coins, and non coin items. This week, she gave me a bunch of stuff from the machine. The first picture is a bunch of rejected coins including a steel cent, a worn out jefferson nickel, some coins form poland, england, australia, and the big coin is a driving range token for calverton links. Second is a pic of some religious medals. The top ones are junk, but the bottom one is 10k gold with a 14k chain. The gold is tiny and probably weighs no more than 3 grams, but it's the third gold of the year. A blurry pic of the hallmarks follows. The next picture is a Netherlands half cent from 1885. It's also a small coin, slightly smaller than a half dime. The last 2 pics are of a bigger silver bracelet and the hallmark. It's a little heavier, maybe an ounce. It's amazing what people lose when they turn in their jars of change!
