Silver Dimes, Silver Rings, and a Lead Toy Soldier

[Cool Hand Fluke]

Today I hunted a very small town in northern California that has a population of about 3,000. It has an elementary school with a large double baseball field. When I started hunted there were clad coins everywhere, so that told me it has not been hunted much. After 7-1/2 hours worth of hunting I dug out 143 coins, within that total was 1 merc dime (1916), one rosie dime (1961), 2 silver rings, and a toy lead soldier. The tot lot had a nice silver pendant! Not sure why I only dug only one wheat penny. Total clad dug added up to $14.53...gas money.

Nice finds. Why is that buckle frame in your junk pile? It's a nice piece of old horse tack. Funny I found a dog clasp the other day in an almost identical state to yours.

I guess you'll have another change with the '16d dime. Good try though.

Whew! 7+ hours!!... I get you was a tired boy going home! Keep digging those ‘16 Mercs, eventually you will score huge. I’ve found two of three myself, all P mints.. And keep digging those pull tabs, eventually one of those will come out gold. Congrats on a big day, thx for sharing, Ddf.

Nice hunt, I'm sure it is hard to stop when you keep finding targets!! I sure like the silver rings. Anything on the token or just a "good for"?

Very lucrative hunt. A couple of Silver coins and Silver rings plus gas money. That's a really good day.

"Small town" of 3000 ! Holy cow, that's like a big city where I'm at ! Looks like a great hunt CHF. I like that pendant, lead soldier, and the silver dimes. You did very well.

One wheat and two silver dimes. Wish the %'s were like that more often. I think the silver pendant is really cool and the find of the day for you. Grats and thanks for sharing.
