A Sunday Dime Grand Slam!

[floodplaindetector]

All finds shown are from weekend hunts over the last 2 weekends at public sites. Machine used was my Minelab eTrac.
The dime grand slam came on the Sunday before last.
For those of you who do not know what a dime grand slam is, it is finding 4 different varieties of a dime in one day.
In this case I pulled multiple silver Roosevelt dimes, mercury dimes , the 1899 barber dime and the 1853 seated dime (with arrows variety) in the same day.

This last Sunday I pulled an interesting find that read like a deep nickle. It is that small "American Flyer" lead toy train.
From my research it is a 1920 Crackerjack toy made to commemorate Lionel Toy Train Company releasing their new Steeple Engine design train in 1920.
That large old flower pin was a deeper faint signal that read similar to an Indian Head Penny. I included a picture of that shortly after I dug it also.
That flower pin has some serious weight to it.
Thanks for looking!

Super nice finds. Hard to beat a grand slam.

 

[Chris(SoCenWI)]

Congrats on the Grand Slam. I've had two or three. Hard to come by. Amazingly would have had many more but couldn't find a the Rosie. How many for you?

Chris

 

[Ted S]

Outstanding Dave! You really push hard and it pays off for you!

 

[gunwolf]

killin' it! love the variety of finds. I have had several trifecta dime days over the years but my only grand slam was quarters at an old school in NY many years ago.

 

[Draco]

The 1936 Indian coin is precious. Congratulations

Awesome Slam Dave! You're going to need a bigger safe to hold all of this year's silver

 

[Ronstar]

Would you please quit making us folks out west cry, its not a pretty thing this early in the morning! Those are some nice finds, no arguments here!!!

 

[bad_jack_98]

holy cow !
vary nice. Now that is setting the bar High.
Nice job.

 

[fwcrawford]

You definitely know your ETrac well!!!
All these finds is not luck in my book, but persistence and skill!!!
Make me wonder how much stuff is still in the ground in all these “hunted out” places.
To be making finds like this consistently in public sites is incredible!!
Congrats on that grand slam!!!

 

[kaolinwasher]

That is a grad slam""

 

[MidTN]

It will be hard to top a day of hunting like that again. Congrats!!!!

 

[Dan(NM)]

Holy cow!!! That's out standing, that's quite the accomplishment, congrats on a job well done.

 

[floodplaindetector]

Thanks guys for the responses!
Chris, to answer your question, I have had only one other true dime grand slam over the years, also one that happened over a weekend and numerous times where I was one coin short.
