My oldest find yet

[kfetters]

Hi everybody! After 30 days of combing my local park, I finally found something older then the 50's. Out late last night and found this 1920 Dime. It's in pretty bad shape but still awesome. Another first for me was a bullet. Had a few other neat things in there as well. The token next to the dog tag is from circus circus. The gem at the top right is some sort of plated jewelery, not sure how old but it was at about 5". Glad I didn't wreck it digging.
Thanks for looking. Happy hunting! Kenny

Good job guy.... I hope to find some old coins someday myself. I'm just getting started with my MD and haven't gone out past my wooded ridge top yet... All you folks are an inspiration.

Thanks everyone! It was very exciting to see that come out.
I'm only a month in myself limitool. I have tried a few more challenging places but my rookieness gets the better of me. Working this park has been a great learning experience. It's littered with trash but my persistence is paying off. I've probably dug over 1000 holes there and I'm sure I'll hit 10000 soon enough. Plenty of good stuff still left. I'll keep posting my finds.

Grats on the merc. What kinda soil did it come from that left it looking like that?

It was about 15 or so feet from what is now a base ball diamond. It was a mix of soil and the diamond dust at that point. That stuff is nasty to get through and it seems to destroy metal. Working on a tip, there used to be a stage at that spot years ago, so I've been working it for a couple weeks.
