1880 Indian Head Cent ~ 1916-S Mercury Dime ~ 1942 & 1944 Mercury dimes

I met Ron & Richard downtown today ~ the weather was great! Took off my coat after about 30 minutes of detecting ~ I was too hot! CRAZY!! Ron had a great day ~ he dug FIVE SILVER COINS! Here's what I dug today:

7 clad quarters
31 clad dimes
8 nickels
62 memorial cents
1880 Indian Head cent (holed)
8 Wheat cents (23, 37-S, 40-S, 44-D, 44-S, 44-S, 47-S, 53-S)
1944-S Mercury dime
1942-D Mercury dime
1916-S Mercury dime
Oregon Motor Stages TransitToken
a coulpe of golden buttons

This 1880 Indian Head cent is the oldest one cent coin I've ever found ~ too bad someone holed it right in the center!

I took a close-up picture of the "S" mint mark on the 1916 Mercury dime ~ too bad it wasn't a "D" mint mark! The picture of the silver dime in the dirt plug is the 1916-S Merc ~ I saw the reverse side first and took out my cell phone and snapped the picture before I looked at the date side.

It was a fun day of detecting!

THANKS! Neil

I think I've got 14 or 15 silver coins since the first of the year ~ that's NOT counting the six WAR nickels (3 1943-S and 3 1945-S) I've dug! I'll check and post the exact number later!
