Lunch break hunt ~ 1943-s Merc dime ~ two 1945-s War Nickels ~ 12 wheats

Hello!

The weather has been pretty nice the last couple days ~ I couldn't just sit in my office anymore, I had to get out to detect, so I took a little extended lunch break today.  Here's what I dug today:

1943-S Mercury Dime
two 1945-S War Nickels
12 Wheats dating from 1921 to 1955
3 clad quarters
3 clad dimes
2 modern nickels
21 Memorial cents
GrimLand Play Coin 5 cents
Olympic pin

I took pic's of the coins before and after I cleaned 'em up.  This Merc dime is my silver coin find #89 for the year.

Anyone know anything about Olympic pins? I dug this one today that I assume is a little older ~ it was just as deep as the wheats, Merc and War nickels.  It's about 19 mm tall and 16 mm wide.  The only mark on it is an "L" with a small banner thing (see close-up pictures).  Anyone know anything about this pin?  How old is it?

Thanks for looking!
Neil

great finds, do you have a park close to your work?

Whoa, I just replied to your trifecta post a second ago.  
Glad to see you back to the lunchtime hunting again!
 Nice Merc!  

WTG on the silvers!

I believe the "L" stands for "Lunch Hunting" an underestimated good time of a sport that you just got the silver in! HA!  Awesome digs for a lunch break!

Nice job on the silver oddcoins!

 Nice Merc!  

Thanks man!  Yeah, for some reason sometimes I can dig just as much stuff in a hour lunch break as I do in a six hour hunt on a Saturday!  WEIRD!

very nice productive lunch...congrats on the finds and hh

Great finds, Neil.  Wish I could help with the olympic pin.  Strange there isnt a date on it.  As collectible as they are, I'd imagine there is a website somewhere out there that can help you date it.

I've never found a war nickel.  How do they sound on the explorer?

They actually sound like a regular nickel!  The tone a little deminished usually because of the depth, but they come in pretty good!

i need a few lunch breaks like that !!
