Two Merc dimes ~ seven wheat cents ~ one turkey ~ and clad!

[oddcoins]

I actually wasn't planning on metal detecting today ~ my daughter's softball games were going to be taking up the entire day, but the first game got cancelled ~ so off I went!

I met Ron downtown ~ the weather was AWESOME!! We detected for a few hours ~ Ron dug a 1954 Franklin Half dollar! Here's what I found:

1929-S Mercury Dime
1939 Mercury Dime
Seven Wheats ~ '40-S, '46-S, '48-S '52-S, '53-S, '57-D, & '57-D
68 Memorial cents
12 clad dimes
8 clad quarters
1956 Canadian Cent
a couple keys

Has anyone noticed how well the older Canadian cents come in? My XLT was reading +88 & +89 and it pinpointed at 5 inches deep ~ I was half expecting a silver quarter! My XLT sure likes them Canadian cents.

I found the Turkey figurine just inches away from where Ron dug the 1954 Half dollar!

I took pictures of the Mercury dimes with my camera phone as soon as I saw that they were silver!
