Stuck on ‘64 no more

[Larbear2]

My silver coin tally for the year is now six, all of them are Rosie dimes. The first five were all ‘64, I was glad to find them as silver is silver. It just seemed a little odd that they were all ‘64. Yesterday I broke that streak with a ‘52 and a good amount of clad to go with it. I drove an hour to get to a high school athletic field that I hunt once a year. Silver Rosie was found near the shot put area down four inches. I was using the F70.

The zinc round I actually found several years ago, the reverse is blank. Thought you might find it interesting. GL & HH.

Some odd coin date situations cropping up here of late. The odds of finding 5 64 dated Rosies in a row at different times and places has to be off the charts, too. HH jim tn

52 is a good number, that's the year I was born.
Nice silver finds.

Kellogg, ID is up N part of the state and east of Couer d’Alene on I-90. The area is also known as the Silver Valley, large number of mines in the Wallace-Kellogg area. Not sure how old that large zinc token is but I’ve never heard of the mine. Congrats on breaking the ‘64 curse!!!

Part of the Bunker Hill Mining complex early last century!! Where abouts did you find it?

Yeah, some strange things happening. Think I’ll buy a Powerball, Mega Millions, and maybe a couple of scratchers just to cover all the bases.

Thanks 52, you got me beat by a year, born in 53.

Thanks Ronstar, I found it in CDA in a dirt, gravel parking lot several years ago. Nearby building was a church at one time and probably several things over the years.
