First hunt of 2013... Found some foreign silver

[Gonehunting]

We have had some snow and ice, it wasn't much, but it was enough to keep me in. It melted off and the temp hit the high 20's.. so off I went.. I returned to a yard that I had been hunting in the past, but haven't gotten to take the CTX to.. With the soil good and damp, I figured even the deepest targets would sing out and sure enough targets that had been gone over were ready to go home with me..
I hunted the end of the lot where the sidewalk was and was hearing and dug a few clad coins so I moved up into the yard, and immediately, the first target of the day, was my oldest.. It was around the 7 to 8 inch mark... Silver!

It is a seated liberty but there is hardly a design on it.. I had to get out the loop to even see the outline.
The next target was a big shock cause I wasn't expecting it..lol especially after just joining here.. talk about ironic..

This is why I like to detect, because no matter where you are.. someone has already walked that path or sidewalk and lost something.. you never know what will pop up!!

I know its not that old but I love it.. it is my second oldest Canadian coin I have found....
After those two everything else was just icing on the cake..

a 1900 Indian head cent.. It has an old scratch right across the face but was rather deep so, I don't know what happened.

Next coming in as a 12-14 12-15, I was surprised to see the reddish disc.. although I couldn't find a date, any day a Vickie shows is a good day...

no date Liberty "V-Nickel"

I did find a few wheats 2 where newer, but two were around the dates of the others.. one was a 1919(very common) and this 1913...

I found some relics including a tag from Oklahoma City, but the last target of the day was this 1919 Mercury..

Thanks for reading and I hope this is a sign of whats coming in 2013..

Awesome group of finds! Is the seated coin a dime? Someone must have carried it as a good luck charm. Congrats and way to go!

 

[Gonehunting]

yes it's a seated dime.. I tried to get a date but was lucky just to see the lady on it..
