Man, what a great weekend! I hope you all had a ton of fun too. It was nice and sunny and almost 90 both days. I have not been out swinging in about a week and a half due to everyday life so I was excited to get back out this weekend!
Got to Golf Sat morning, then we played Football at the field for a while and then we pulled out the detectors and did some swinging.
Tons of targets and the clad was everywhere! We got 5 quarters, 7 dimes, 4 nickels, 24 pennies and a 1940 Wheatie. Pulled out a luggage key, a broken house key, part of a spoon and other odd metal objects.
Not too bad for the finds and as we were getting ready to pack it up we decided a couple more goodies on the way back to the car. Beep, beep, dig — Quarter! Beep, beep, dig — Dime! Beep, beep, dig — OMG! Another Merc! Can’t wait to see the date on this one.
Clean up the goodies and this Merc is the oldest coin we have found! A 1916 and in decent shape. Edges are softened but the date is totally readable. Oh yea, my son says…. This is over 100 years old Dad! We are def going for an ice cream!
Sun comes along and we do our stuff around the house. My sons friend wants him to come over so I drop him off and decide to go swing again as I had a couple of hours to kill. Man it’s hot out! Take the cooler with a lot of water in it and off I go.
I as doing my thing and along comes a lil girl and her brother. She is like 4 and he is 2. She asked what I was doing as her mother was wondering and so I explain and now have 2 new buddies helping me out. They were so cute. They got so excited when I would dig a hole. I gave them both a couple of pennies and any cool rock I found. The girl said I was doing a really good job as she couldn’t tell where we dug the last hole.
So I had a good day of clad. Pulled out 8 quarters, 11 dimes, 9 nickels, 25 pennies and a 1942 & 47 Wheatie.
So in the cleaning process I find a coin that is just about quarter size but it didn’t have GW on it. After some scrubbing it turns out to be a 1991 Peso! This is my first foreign coin I have found so far. I know it is nothing special but cool to find all the same.
Well thanks for looking. Hope you had fun this weekend as well!
Good luck out there!
