Another hunt with DaddyDigger yields some silvers. VIDEO added.

[Tony Two-Cent]

Once again today I met up with DaddyDigger (Dave) to hunt at the same park we hunted at last weekend. We met at the park at 8:00 a.m. and hunted for a good five hours straight before breaking for lunch. Dave ended up with a Merc, a Rosie, some wheaties, a really nice men's silver ring, and a ton of clad. Last weekend Dave found two silver quarters and today it was my turn. I found two silver Washingtons in front of the school that sits on the old park site. I also found nine wheaties, a couple flat buttons, a small silver ring that is marked Sterling, and some clad. I was very happy to find two silver quarters in one day, I haven't done that in a long time!

After lunch we tried a different park but I didn't find any old coins there this time, only clad. Dave found a few wheats though.

Here are my finds for the day:

Wheats cents, Memorials, clad dimes, and quarters:

Here is the second silver quarter I found (1936) at the bottom of the hole before I dislodged it. It was pretty deep and to be honest I was hoping for a Standing Liberty. Maybe next time!

Here is the little sterling silver ring I found:

Here is the two-piece flat button. To my recollection I have never found one before, and I don't know a thing about them. It looks like it might say Waterbury on the back?

I found my 47th and 48th silver coins of the year, slowing inching towards my goal of 50.

All in all it was a very enjoyable day with some nice finds and some good conversation over lunch. Thanks for looking and happy hunting!

Whats the other item in the first picture? The thing below the cool skull ring. lol

I knew everyone would be jealous of my cool skull ring! rofl

I didn't know what that other object was either, but Dave told me it's a lead seal. On both sides it says, Wm J. Lemp St. Louis, MO. A quick Google search tells me that this was a brewery in St. Louis from 1840-1922. A history of the William J. Lemp Brewing Company:

WTG Tony!!!!! You're getting off the Merc digging and going big! |:cheering: Great hunt

[Full Metal Digger]

I'm glad that ring turned out to be silver Tony! Once again, I thoroughly enjoyed hanging out with you and making some great finds.

That new park I checked out on the way home looks super promising. I'm already thinking silver halves are just waiting for us there! Best wishes and HH, Dave. p.s. I found a total of 99 coins today!
