21 Silver Coin Day

[angellionel]

I had no desire to repeat yesterday's windy hunt at the Connecticut park, so today afternoon I hunted at a small local park. It turned out to be a very good hunt as the park yielded 21 silver coins. I bested the 15 silver coin day I had last year.

I also found two large tokens, one larger than a half dollar, a mess of wheat cents and clad, and a gold-layered ring.

This was my first silver coin of the day, a 1902-O Barber quarter.

This next one is a 1912 Barber dime still encased in soil.

And another silver coin still encased in soil, this one a Washington quarter.

You mean you only found one barber quarter? :shocked04: :confused: :lol:

I'm sorry, but you knew I was going to say that :lol:

That is an incredible haul :thumbsup01: Especially since that park had been hit before. I know we will see more good stuff that you have dug from there in the next few days :) Congrats!

[Epi-hunter]

Hey, I tried for more, but the park was having none of it. :lol: There has to be more there though. ;)



PS Tell us more about the tokens.


Unfortunately I don't have much information on them. :confused: The larger token is apparently from a grease company? I can make out the words Use Albany Grease And Never Worry, but I haven't found any information on it. The other appears to be from what was a local jewelry store. :)

I was thinking the same thing at the end of the hunt. :lol: There is likely one there somewhere. :grin:
