Short lunch break hunt ~ 1917 Canadian Silver Dime!

[oddcoins]

Hello everyone!

I headed downtown today during my lunch break to do some detecting. I've been going over ground with my SE that I've hunted before with my old White's XLT. It's amazing what's still left to be dug up!

I only detected for about 30 minutes before there was some big police "going's on" so I got out of there ~ some bad guy was on the loose and the police dogs were on his trail. I didn't stick around to see what exactly was happening.

I ended up digging three wheat cents ~ 1942, 1947, & 1950. And a 1917 SIlver Canadian dime! This is my first foreign silver coin for the year (silver coin #60 for the year). I took pic's of it before and after I cleaned it up. Plus, I took a close-up pic of the date area just for the fun of it.

Thanks for looking!
Neil
