April 27 th - what a great day, full of surprises.

Got out for a few hours and tried out a new area - which really turned up some good coins, apart from the old decimal ones of which there were about 45 - mostly 1, 2 and 5cent ones but had a number of 10, 20 and 50 cents as well. I now have quite a box full of these coins after detecting for approx 2 months. People must have had lots of holes in their pockets years ago!
Also found over $8.00 spendable which the grandchildren claimed!
Dug so much that the old wrists are aching quite a bit tonite, even tho' the soil is nice and soft after all the rain.  Must go to the gym to get them stronger.

Anyhow the good coin finds were as follows:-

1918 Siver Winged Mercury Dime

There is a small D on mine at the foot of the vine (as the Google Image below shows ) - it means it was minted in Denver.



1939 Silver 3d  

 1982 USA Liberty Quarter



1967 USA 1 Cent

Finding such an old 1918 silver coin from America was a real surprise, as was the 1939 silver 3d.
They were all found a long way apart, at about 5 inches depth.
I wonder what was happening on this site years ago?
Metal detecting is full of surprises.
