Woohoo best day of the year, 2 mercs +

[washingtonian]

Hey guys, I had an awesome day today. I had my Psychology final this morning, so I am now on official spring break. I met up with Detectingfreak, and we decided we were going to hit some medians in an older area of Seattle today. Without going into too much detail we hunted for about 6 hours, and found some really awesome stuff. I will let him tell you what he found in his post. I ended the day with 78 pennies (2 canadian, 6 wheats), 1 nickel, 12 dimes (2 mercs), 1 quarter, 4 keys, some sort of weight I need help Iding, a tax token, and an Alfonsos token. The wheat penny dates are 1918-s, 1930-s, 1942-s, 1952, and 1955-D x2. The mercury dime dates are 1917 and 1928-s. It was my best day of the year yet, and I hope you all have a great week! (Also this puts my bro and I at 49 wheaties to 3 silver coins which is far better than last weeks totals of 43 wheaties and 0 silver coins haha).

P.S. can anyone help with more info. on the weight? It says A.W. Faber Castell with the number 4050 at the top and Germany at the bottom. Thanks!

Also made drafting supplies---I just recently sold 4 mechanical drafting pencils on eBay for $30 that were from the 1960's. The Faber-Castell stuff is really collectible! Good job on those finds, washingtonian!
