[Dick from IA]

1908IH, in a park I used to play in as a kid, right by a stone stairway into the woods.

Must have passed that coin dozens of times 50 years ago; and it just waited there patiently for me to rescue it in 2006.

I feel kinda silly for even posting this one as it's 'spanking new' compared to most of the others posted, but I am just getting started so for me, it IS the oldest find so far this year . It was a 1964 Nickel found in an old church yard yesterday. I am going to start getting pictures of my finds (that are worth sharing), I just have to find the cable to the camera so I can put them on the computer!

 

[Cool Hand Fluke]

1805 large Irish penny. Found at a Dublin Ireland park while on vacation in September. Found out today that it is
illegal to hunt most places in Ireland! Got away with it! ...Luck of the Irish!
