I worked another section of the same park I hit on Wednesday, slowly working a grid in the hopes of digging up a few more silver dimes. But what a surprise I had! I dug mostly large silver, and nice ones too! :drool:
The first surprise find was a 1915 Republic of Cuba 40 cent silver coin. It's almost the size of a US half dollar, and heavy too. When I first saw the edge sticking out of the soil I thought that I had found a half dollar. I was not disappointed with what it ended up being though.

The second surprise was a 1946 Walking Liberty Half dollar, the second one this week from that park. :smitten:

The third surprise, and a big one, was digging up a 1921 Standing Liberty quarter! :drool: :loveit: I can make out the last two digits. :smitten:

Then came a 1902 Barber quarter. :cheesysmile:

I also found a 1951-S Washington quarter and a 1957 Roosevelt dime. Here is the loot. :drool:

This one has me stumped. :confused: The words read The Fayo and Mascot. Any ideas?
