1936 Silver 25c ~ 1942 Merc dime ~ 3 wheats ~ silver ring ~ clad

[oddcoins]

Hello!

I met up with Ron & Richard today at a new area where some neat old treasures have been found lately. After about an hour or so I just couldn't seem to find anything myself there, so headed back downtown where it seems that I always find something worthwhile. Here's what I dug today:

1936-S Washington Quarter
1942-S Mercury Dime
One Agora from Israel (aluminum)
3 wheats ~ 1921, 1945, & 1952-s
Silver Ring
6 clad quarters
18 clad dimes
1 modern nickel
81 Memorial cents
Zippo Lighter

I took pictures of the silver items before and after I cleaned 'em up. These are my silver coin finds #80 & #81 for the year.

The Silver ring isn't marked 925 or STERLING ~ the only marking is an eagle's claw (jeweler's mark?).

I'm not sure how to tell what the date is on the coin from Israel. Anyone know?

Thanks for looking!
Neil

I have no clue as to the date of the coin nor how much silver the ring may contain, but I sure think both are way cool!
WTG!

At the rate you're finding silver, you might hit 100 before the end of the year! All you need is a little bit of a streak...or maybe a weeks vacation.

That foreign coin would have made a great looking token.

Nashoba: Good to see your post. Hope all is well with you and that you're getting out detecting.

HA HA ~ thanks man!

Here's the story behind that picture . . . . . I'm a property manager. One of my elderly tenant passed away (he was like 94 years old) ~ he had no family or kids ~ there was nobody to take a way all his stuff~ so we gave it all away! His place was full of such old stuff (but nothing too exciting) ~ the guy was stuck in the 1960's! I put on his glasses and took this picture with the camera on my cell phone.

Neil,

Nice finds! Seems like you and Richard have done pretty well lately. I am ready to try getting out again, so maybe I will have something to add to the discussion at some point.

Keep 'em coming!
