    Sis Silver day without a detector!

    I took a shirt back to Walmart today and passed the Coin Star on the way, but it was empty. After returning the shirt, my wife and I did a little shopping. On the way out we passed the same Coin Star again. This time there was a handful of coins in the return tray. I scooped them out and when I got home I found 3 silver dimes and 3 silver quarters, one a 1929 Standing Liberty.

    Nice! Especially the SLQ!

    I always check the Coinstar machine. I think I shared here that my brother found a seated dime in one!

    Somebody was desperate for spending money. Threw away an extra 20-30 bucks in silver.
    Vermont relic hunting, one swing at a time.
