On the Board for October with a trio of silvers

[Silvermonkey]

Greetings from a damp Massachusetts.
I was able to get out on Sunday for a few hours. Checked out a new spot along a river. I had high hopes, but they were quickly dashed...Seems like this area had been used as a dump over the years. No decent targets. Oh well.

My second site was along a wooded ridge. I've hunted it before, but not in several years ( and not with my Deus). After about 30 minutes a came across a lovely high tone that turned out to be a 1942 Walking Liberty half dollar.



About a foot away I hit another nice signal that turned out to be a 1945 Washington quarter



Both of these coins had signs of fire damage, but cleaned up ok.



Ended the day with a squashed silver pin. Despite its condition, I thought it was quite pretty.



Good luck to all. Thanks for taking a look.

I love that half dollar. That is definitely my favorite US coin design. Congrats on the great finds..

A great way to spend a few hours! Walkers are a thrill to find!

Nice finds, grats on the keepers and thanks for the great post.
In my opinion, the coins are oxidised from moisture and not fire damage.
