Today I had a little free time so I went to the local go-to park to see what I could dig up. I can almost always unearth at least one silver per trip, but my usual areas in the park have been starting to dry up.
I decided to try an area that I’ve always avoided due to the large homeless population and hookers who meander in that particular part of the park. My first signal just three feet from my car was an obligatory 1944 wheat cent so I had high hopes that there were some goodies to be found.
Well after an hour, a junk ring and about two bucks in clad, I found this. I could tell by the rim it was silver but hadn’t seen this particular coin before. A quick Google search showed that it’s a 1941 Netherlands East Indies 1/4 Gulden which is 72% silver. Anyday I can find a new type of coin is a good day.
