Hello All,
Well as winter has set in here in Ohio, I finally washed and cleaned up all my coins from this past year 2006.
Wow, am I glad that's done. I washed coins for 3 days in a double tumbler. Sorting all those coins into the right piles takes time and a sore back. I should have kept the coins separated through out the year, buy you know how that is, your hunting and just don't have time.
For those who have never cleaned your coins, I'll give you a little hint. Don't and I say Don't wash pennies with any other coins. They turn any coin that is not copper into a copper colored coin. Not Good! Even if you think you have sorted all the dimes and pennies, guess what, one of those pesky new pennies gets into the dime tumbler and all the dimes look like pennies. BAD!
If you don't clean your coins, but just take them the super market or gas station, shame on you! It isn't that hard to clean your coins and take them to the bank. Also by cleaning your coins, you never know, you might find one of those double stamped coins. I found one years ago, and I'm still looking at all my coins, clad or silver. You just never know.
Well for my finds this year, I found nearly 4000 clad coins.
As for good finds I found:
5 Walking Halves
23 Silver Washington Quarters
4 Barber Quarters 1897, 1903, 1909, & ?
1 Seated Quarter 1876
39 Roosevelt Dimes
43 Mercury Dimes
2 Barber dimes
2 Seated dimes 1875 & 1887
1 Canadian Dime 1912
14 V-Nickels
14 War Nickels
18 Buffalo Nickels
2 5 cent shielded Nickels
3 2 cent pieces
80 Indian Head Pennies
440 Wheat Penny's
And like I said over 4000 clad coins. In my book thats a lot of digging. Of course tons of trash.
I also found in the water 20 rings and on land 4 rings including a Yogi bear ring.
I also found a bunch of neat tokens, and a 6 Pound Cannonball, and 3 axes, and some neat arrowheads.
That's all Folks. Thanks for viewing my post and hope your year was just as good and this year, hope we all
have many good finds.
