I’ve never found this silver coin before.

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.

That's a sweet foreign silver, congrats.

Hookers and homeless at the park? We have a few drunks, but zero hookers. You got to get us a couple of pictures of this scene.

Yeah, this park is bordered by a road that is a hooker runway. They are out there strutting their stuff until the cops come, at which time they will go into the park and sit in the shade until the coast is clear to go back to work.

Roeding park is hooker/junkie/homeless central! I find so many needles there and get approached quite often by questionable "street walkers". But the park always seems to give up goodies! Nice find Jason! We gotta get out there soon!
