HALF DIME ~ my silver coin #100 for the year! WOOHOO!!!

[oddcoins]

Hello everyone!

It took me almost 11 full months to hit my goal of 100 silver coins this year . . . . . today I did it! Silver coin #100! It's a little bitter-sweet ~ I was hoping to dig a real nice silver coin for my milestone . . . . . a few days ago I posted here on Tnet that I didn't want it to be some common date Rosie dime ~ I should have done some more praying to the treasure Gods. My silver coin #100 for 2008 is a cut 1953-D Rosie Dime!! I've never dug a cut silver coin like this in 15 years of detecting! I've found plenty of damaged silver coins, but none CUT in half!

I also dug a 1942-S War nickel and a reproduction of a Hessian Revolutionary War button (28 mm in Diameter). Plus a bowling lapel pin that reads, "250 - FAIRFIELD LANES - EUGENE". I assume it was given to someone that bowled a 250 in league play or in a bowling tournament. Fairfield Lanes is on Hwy 99 in Eugene Oregon. The name has changed to STRIKE CITY a few years back.

Thanks for looking!
Neil

Neil,
Does that mean you are at 99 1/2? or 100 1/2 with the war nickel?

LOL!

Great Milestone! Congrats! Glad someone can get out and detect without going through 8 or 9 inches of snow!

WTG.

Good job. I am lucky to find 5 silver coins in a year......but, then I hunt in S. Korea.
But, I am from the States, LaGrande, Oregon area. I gather that you are from Oregon too. Where?
(Hope you get over 100 before the year ends. Good luck)

Congrats on #100 Neil. You did it in style buddy. I have never found a cut dime. I know Dan has found tons of 'em...but now I'm jealous of you too . A cut dime is on my want list. I hope I find one sooner or later.
