Tried to keep up with Juju tonight

Ray in CA · Jul 12, 2009

After seeing all of Juju's great finds, I just had to get out tonight and swing my detector. Only came up with a single '40 Merc down about 7" and my first Uncle Sam play money dime (1958), but I'll take a silver coin any day. :headbang:

The play money rang in the pull tab range, but it was making such a different tone that I had to dig. When it popped out I almost had a heart attack because I thought I had finally found my seated half dime!! :'(

Those finds would certainly make my day of detecting! Great merc

Thanks Washingtonian!

Almost forgot...here are a few non-silver finds from last week. The 1916 Canadian Large Cent is my first and was found in another adjacent easement where I found the nickel trifecta. That particular corner of easements has been good to me!

The 1943 Canadian V nickel, also a first for me, was found next to an old Methodist church. And the buffalos are dateless and were found at other easements around town.

Thanks folks!

Mud, I'm in Washington state. You'd think these all these lowlander Canucks would have dropped a few more silver coins for us to find, but I've yet to locate one. :laughing9:

Ray, some great finds..but I think it would be difficult to keep up with JuJu on his finds....but you are doing a great job anyway. Like the older Canadian coins...I would check on rarity of pre-50's one's.... :thumbsup:
