Hello!

I got some time in detecting up north of me in Portland last weekend. Dug a 1964 Rosie dime, a 1930-s Buffalo nickel, a few wheat cents and a very interesting tag ~ it reads "S. S. LINNEA 87". I can't seam to find any info on what this tag is. Anyone have any ideas?!

I also dug a silver spoon! It weights 20.7 grams ~ it's marked STERLING PAT. 1928. This is only the 3rd sterling silver spoon I have ever dug.

This weekend I only got out for a couple hours. I hit some spots down near the University of Oregon. I managed to find a 1937 Merc dime, a few wheats (including a 1910-s), and some clad.

Thanks for looking!
Neil

I was just separating all the clad I dug and noticed this foreign coin! I didn't even notice it before ~ I think I thought it was just a nickel ~ same size as a US nickel and it came in on my eTrac the same as a US nickel! 2001 One Kuna from Croatia
