Late this afternoon I made another trip for a short hunt to the park coinnut and I worked yesterday. I arrived at almost five and had to work quickly since a group was preparing to use the field for a baseball game. I detected the fringes of the area I worked yesterday and picked up another three silver coins - two mercury dimes, dated 1920 and 1929, and a 1959 Roosevelt. The 1929 mercury dime was stuck to a wheat cent, similar to another spill I dug up during yesterday's hunt. The dime is in bad shape though.

See, we should have stayed a bit longer and you would have had them the other day :lol: Must be the season for coin spills. Nice little hunt and 3 more for the pile!! Looking at the back of that '29 Merc, it seems like it was dropped soon after it was made. Maybe a candidate for the aluminum foil cleaning. It looks like it was new when it was dropped.

You are probably right.:lol:

I did pick up three coin spills from that section. :yes: I will try to clean up that dime. The obverse has a heavy and crusty coating of sulfide. :huh: It's hard to make out any details. It should clean up well though.
