Hit my favorite campground again today

[time4me]

I spent about 4 hours at a campground that I've been hitting a couple times a week over the past few weeks now. I have found a silver quarter and/or dime there in each of the last 4 visits. Got one of each today.

Also found a medal that somebody got for hiking a historic trail over in the Berkeley, California area. Then I found an interesting coin - it gave me a real low tone on the Explorer II, and I was surprised to see a coin come out of the ground. Even more surprised to see it rusting. It is a 1960 Portugese coin.

Then I dug what I thought was a pocket watch until I got it home and started cleaning it up. It is a WWII era US Corp of Engineers compass. The needle of the compass totally corroded, but I think it is still very cool.

Aside from these notables, there were 4 wheaties from the 40's and 50's, and a handful of clad coins.

Here are the pics...

It is just me or does the "In God We Trust" on the quarter looks to be double printed?

look closely at the od w in "in god we trust"

Good eyes!!! I definitely see it now that you pointed it out. Looked in the "Red Book" but it only lists double-dies for the '34, '37, '42-d, and '42-s silver Washington's...

I wonder if they missed that one... Might be worth getting checked out T4M...

Nah, I just checked it under a 10x loop and I don't see any double die error. Must have been a trick of the lighting in the photo. Thanks for bringing it to my attention though!
