Silver schoolyard #1 coughs up two more

[Ray in WA]

Hey folks!

I've been out of commission lately with a gnarly head cold, and yesterday was the first day in about a week I actually felt human again. So, I decided to do just a couple hours worth of detecting at the silver schoolyard and netted a beautiful 1944 Mercury dime. One of the nicest I've dug. It was down about 7" and gave a nice, clear signal. Also dug a no-date wheatie, '64 Canadian penny and, of course, lots of clad.

Then today, after church, I went out again for about an hour to the same schoolyard, and this time nabbed a 1926 Merc! Nice. I think I like the old, wore out ones better. Much more character. This one was only 4 inches deep and gave a choppy signal, probably from sitting on edge in the ground. This one makes #7 from the silver schoolyard.

HH,

Ray

You got to love that Silver. I got two pieces of silver this weekend myself, one Mercury and a foreign dime . The foreign dime was so worn I can only make out a very little of the image. Safari strikes again, deep silver rings out strong even amongst junk. Nice finds RAY.

Thanks Hardtack! Why don't you post some pictures of the foreign dime? Maybe someone can ID it for ya.
