Howdy Folks!
I didn't hunt a great deal yesterday because my knee was grieving me some but did get out for awhile. For some odd reason, this was my day to find a whole mess of foreign coins.
I got a Mexican trifecta, with $1 Peso, $5 Peso and $10 Peso coins all within a few minutes of one another.
And the oddity cointinued as I found a smattering of Euros. Two ten cent Euros, two 20 cent Euros, and a 1 dollar Euro.
About a year ago, I found a Buffalo Bill Museum token from Lookout Mountain above Golden. I thought at first it was a silver dollar, and hollered for Pipster to see my recover of that coin, but turned out to be nothing more than a Buffy Bill token. While disappointed, I didn't let it sully my mood. I went around the other side of a ladder at that tot lot and that's where I came up with a Morgan silver dollar. Thinking it was another Buffy Bill token, I didn't get excited until I saw those unmistable features of Liberty's face. That's when I got real excited.
I only tell you that story so this next one makes sense. Toward the end, I found 2 Buffalo Bill Museum tokens from Lookout Mountain above Golden, about a foot apart. Naturally, I hoped there would be a couple of Morgans nearby. Guess lightening doesn't always strike twice, though. It was not to be. All I ended up with were those darn tokens!
Finally, I found a silver class ring from George Washington High School in Denver. It has a name on it with 97,which I assume is the year of graduating. I did research online last night and couldn't find a graduate with that name in that year, nor two years on either side of 97. So.............. I called the school today and asked about the name in question, explaining I'd found this ring and would like to reunite the owner with their ring. The first lady said she had no record under that name. She referred me to their records department, and I left a voice mail asking for a callback.
Meanwhile, I searched for that name on the web, and checked obvious sites such as Facebook. Nada! Zippo! Nothing! I also tried Dex, the folks who publish telephone directories around these parts. They not only didn't have the name listed, but the nearest instance of that last name was several hundred miles from here in Nebraska.
So, until I learn more, I still have the ring. I'm trying to get it to the owner, but this is tough because she probably got married and has a different last name now. In fact, over 13 years, may have married and changed her name a couple of times.
I also found these rings, including the no account cheapie junker.
My coin count was off due to foreign intervention, but I had fun anyhow.
My totals were:
5 Quarters = $1.25
5 Nickels = $0.25
19 Dimes = $1.90
38 Pennies = $0.38
Total = $3.78
Coin Count = 67 coins, not including aliens.
Blessings,
