Dry Spell In Old Woods Ends With An 1852 Silver Three Cent "Trime"
It's been a little over a week since I found the 1841 Seated Liberty Dime in the old woods. I've been back several times in the past week, but the signals are getting scarce; though my friend Rob found a 1920 Walking Liberty half in nice condition last Saturday and I found an 1863 Indian Head penny. Went today after work, and hit an area that I had worked once before without any luck. About 20 minutes into the hunt I got a decent pulltab/ring to screwtop signal at 3 inches and pulled out this 1852 silver three cent piece, which is also known as a trime. The obverse with the date is pretty blemished, though I can just about make out the 1852 date. The reverse is in nice condition. Needless to say, I was pretty psyched, since I had never dug one of these before. Below is a list of keepers from these woods:
1778 Spanish 1 Reale
1780s Nova Constellatio Copper
1803 Kettle Replica or Game Marker Coin
1841 Seated Dime
1842 Large Cent
1852 Silver Three Cents Piece
1863 Indian Head Penny
1864 Counterfeit California Gold Dollar Coin
1894 Barber Quarter
1902 Barber Dime
1920 Buffalo Nickel
1920 Walking Liberty Half Dollar (Found By My Friend)
1937 Mercury Dime
And Two or Three Other Indian Head Pennies (Can't Remember The Dates)
Also In The Keeper Case:
C1820-1830 US Navy Button In Extremely Fine Condition
C1900 Admiral Dewey "Welcome Our Hero" Souvenir Medal
C1920 Knights Templar Medal From Syracuse New York
C1937 Speed Gibson's Flying Police Tin Badge (Radio Premium Missing Back Pin)
