Weekend Finds

[Rich in Texas]

Well my detecting buddy Don and I went out to one of our old spots and came away with some goodies. Total of 14 wheats, 7 silvers, and a ton of older clad and nickels. The pics below are my share of the silver digs. 51, 59, and 64 Roosies. A 1963 Quarter. The 51 Roosie has seen some abuse, I didn't do that digging it. The Obverse of the Quarter has some faint lines across it, I am wondering if it was maybe in a change purse or something. Anyways, we had a ton of fun!

Nice silver Rich. That 51 looks like it been run over a few times. It's always nice to get silver in any form. Keep up the good work. Even the silver from the 60's is getting hard to find.

That was a great day of MDing Rich.

You do a great job with the pics. What is your technique? Scanner, high end camera? Whatever you do the photos are well lit, high in detail and a pleasure to look at.

Thanks on the comments. I use a Cannon A520 Digital Camera. I was still experimenting with the technique. The quarter has the right lighting. I took the pic using the macro mode with the flash from about a foot and a half away zoomed in on the coin. I shot it at a slight angle so the flash would not reflect back directly at the camera. With the pics of the dimes I used a flood light off to the side, but the pics came out with an orange tint. I will be using the method that I used on the quarter from now on.

Thanks for the reply about the photo techniques.

Natural sunlight works for small objects but it is not always convenient.

Keep those pics coming.
