Four Silvers and a Pile of Wheat!

[oldmxrat]

Got a permission from a 1930's property. Only got through the front yard today, will hit the back yard tomorrow.
I dug up a small mountain of trash, plus:
$11.42 in clad,
22 wheat cents,
a couple of buttons,
a toy gun hammer,
two (rough) silver dimes,
a 1943-d nickel,
and a little Sterling Navaho ring.

One of the dimes is a 1946 (can't tell if there's a mint mark) and the other has a S mint mark but the date is not legible.
The wheat cents are:
1936
1940-s
1942
1944-d (x2)
1945-s (x2)
1946-s
1946
1947-s
1949-s (x2)
1950-s
1951-s (x2)
1951-d
1954-d
1956-d (x2)
1958-d


Here's the refuse pile (including the zincolns that I didn't think would make it through the coin machine);

Pretty fun yard with lots of targets. Clearly somebody hunted it previously and only dug the silver coin signals. Both dimes, and the ring were deep, almost out of range for the D2.

I'll go back and hit the small back yard tomorrow.

Good job, my friend—it looks like it was a good day.

The Great Seal button looks like a more modern version yet uses the Scovill back mark from 1850-1865. SCOVILL MF'G CO. WATERBURY, they must have used that well after 1865.

You certainly had alot of digging. Congrats on the silvers, and best of luck on the back yard.

 

[iAmMike]

Excellent finds! I'm willing to bet there is more silver to be found there too. But what happened to those dimes?! They look like they've been sitting in acid.

Nice hunt. You have a Kazoo in your trash pile.

 

[jewelerguy]

good stuff!

Outstanding Achievement
Thanks for sharing my friend

 

[scruggs]

Nice finds and site! Good luck on the back and sides!

Love that silver ring, congrats on the $11.42 in cash too.
I can't help but wonder what's in the soil there that corroded those silvers so bad though?
They almost look like coins that have been exposed to salt water.

Very nice, I like that Great Seal Button and all of the silvers.

This was from Boulder City, and I've noticed a lot of the silver coins I find there look like that. I'm sure the water used for irrigation was from the Colorado river. Makes me wonder about all the bass I eat from Lake Mead. 🧐

Great hunt with a ton of wheats!
