Hello!
Went out detecting today ~ it rained early in the day, but the rain stopped and it made for a perfect day to dig some treasures! Here's what I found today:
1918-S Mercury Dime
1919 Mercury Dime
1929-S Buffalo Nickel
1943-S War nickel
8 wheat cents dating from 1919 to 1956
4 clad quarters
17 clad dimes
2 modern nickels
58 memorial cents
I took pic's of the coins & token before and after I cleaned them up. These Merc dimes are my silver coins #90 & #91 for the year. My goal is to beat my silver count from last year ~ I dug 104 silver coins in 2008. I only need to dig 14 more by Dec 31 to beat it!
This trade token is one I've never seen before! It's about the same size as a US one cent. One side reads, SALES PREMIUM - 2 1/2 c - DR. WEST'S PRODUCTS ONLY, and the other side reads, REDEEMABLE IN CASH - NOT GOOD AFTER JULY 31st 1933 - THE WESTERN CO. CHICAGO.
Thanks for looking!
Neil

Great finds as usual, Neil. I also love the token. How cool that you don't need to do any research on it to figure out how old it is?
I still haven't learned the nickel sound. Following the cursor position on my Ex2 is an effort in futility, so I just avoid the mid range conductors and leave the big honking gold rings to the next guy.

THANKS! Yeah, tokens are the cream of the crop! I didn't know much about 'em until I started detecting. I've been a coin collector since I was 8 years old ~ finding coins is great ~ but sometimes the other stuff is more exciting! 8^) |
