Went to my silver park yesterday and she gave me Indians. The two crusty ones (1898 &1902) came with a 1911 V nickel and a nail. Then ran into the 1881 Indian a few paces later. This is by far the oldest coin I've found in this park so far. Today I went through some more of the iron patch here in town and found these two squeakers - 1942 Washington and 1912 Barber dime. Both had nails/wire in the hole with them. I'm getting better at hearing the coins in spite of the iron and how they sound a little different than just an iron false. Overall, two of these finds with iron in the hole only barely gave a hit from very specific directions - not all the way around. Strangely, this is my first Washington as I've found the quarter types in pretty much reverse chronological order. I think we've only got a couple more days here before the grounds gonna freeze... Thanks for looking and HH!

Last Couple Hunts - 1st Silver Washington

The V nickel got a little scrubbing per G4E's website. The only two I've found so far have come out red but with a little scouring you can at least see things if the coin isn't worth much anyway... I probably scoured this one a little too much and the lighting is hiding the red tint that remains...
