View Full Version : Trime and Other Park Silver

I have been very bad about posting finds lately. 8/ These coins came from two after-work hunts this spring at a nearby public park. The trashy areas paid off :happydance01: and this is where I found most of the mercs, as well as on the outskirts of the park, which is where I found the trime too. My first trime, and it came out nice, although somewhat worn :yes: It is an 1853. I can't believe how small and paper-thin these coins are. You can see how small compared to the other coins, in the front of the first photo.
I also found a 1903 V nickel, nine mercs, a war nickel, a rosie, and a Washington quarter.
Recently I have been hitting a private property which has turned out to be very fruitful, so I have some more which I will post later. For now I have taken a break there, as it is too brutally hot and I'm afraid of leaving brown plugs all over the yard. :shocked04:stretcher:
Hope everyone is staying cool! HH,
Angie

Very glad to see a post from you, Angie! I hope all is well with you. It looks like you have been finding some great coins, I love that 3-cent silver piece! At least you didn't break it in half! lol
I know what you mean about the heat. I have taken a break from detecting for the same reason, don't want to leave dead, brown plugs. I can't wait to see what you found on the private property.

:clapping: Way to go Angie!!! Your one day of silver is about what I've found ALL Year! In fact, exact count on the mercs- 9 mercs in one day?! Oh, I see two days...
Love the diversity of your silver finds. :happydance01: The trime is gorgeous, I don't think I've ever seen one posted on here. Hope you get out again soon.

Excellent job Angie! The Trime is a fantastic find. <:
If you are pulling these coins from parks... I can only imagine what you
have been getting from the private property. :-> :grin:
I hope you get some rain and cooler temps so you can resume your hunting your new site.

Thanks Tony :) That coin would be very easy to snap in half :shocked01: I couldn't believe how thin it was, even more so than the half-dime. The other side of the coin is more worn than the side shown :yes: I am looking forward to getting back on the private property as there are about four or five acres (it's a home that used to be hundreds of acres, now on just a few acres) and it is all producing nicely :happydance01:
very nice finds Angie,there got to be more there go get um.
Thanks JT! I do intend to go back there. Actually the last time I was back there I found no silver, just wheats :cheesysmile:

Hey Tana, thanks! I think you know what park I was at. :) No, I didn't find all 9 mercs in the same day :shocked01: but it was a good couple of trips this spring. :)
Excellent hunting, can't wait to see the fruit of that private yard. Congrats
Thank you! I am still in disbelief over some of the stuff I'm digging at the old estate in the country. I never really focused on private property before, but that is going to change now lol

Yes, I have to keep up with you lol You are the detecting maniac. lol I'm still looking for a large cent! I too love the trashy areas now with my E-Trac :smitten:

Thank you Hook! I do feel more in tune with my E-Trac. I have learned a lot from everyone here. :yes: Now if I can just figure out the v3i.... :crying02:
Excellent job Angie! The Trime is a fantastic find. <: If you are pulling these coins from parks... I can only imagine what you have been getting from the private property. :-> :grin:
I hope you get some rain and cooler temps so you can resume your hunting your new site.
Thanks Joe :yes: This new place has been a lot of fun, but I love parks and the challenge they provide. They have taught me a lot about my machine. :) It actually has been raining here off and on; it's just the heat and humidity that's killing everyone :shocked04: I know you are dealing with the same there.
Nice going Angie it's good to see you got out . Congrats on your first Trime and all your other silver . thumbsup01

The ground here is a lot like it was in Iowa. The coins (especially coppers) come out very nice :yes:
