1944-S Merc dime ~ 1914 Wheat cent ~ RED RYDER lucky coin

[oddcoins]

Hello!

I met up with Ron downtown for a 2 hour hunt after work today. I sure love the time change ~ we can detect almost until 8m now before it's too dark to see! We met up on a street that has a huge grassy median strip running right down the middle of the street. There's been some goodies pulled out of there over the last few years, but we figured we better try it again to see what we missed! Here's what I dug:

1944-S Mercury Dime
1914 Wheat cent (No "S" or "D")
RED RYDER Lucky coin (circa late '40's)
8 other wheat cents dating from 1939 to 1954
6 clad quarters
8 clad dimes
3 modern nickels
13 memorial cents

I took a close-up picture of the date area on the 1914 Wheat cent ~ too bad it wasn't a "D" mint! This is the 2nd RED RYDER lucky coin I've found in the last week! 17 years of metal detecting and I hadn't found one until last week ~ now I've got two of 'em!

Thanks for looking!
Neil

sweet bunch of finds !!!
You sure theres not a mint mark below that 1914 ?
Sure looks like something is there, but could be
my brain malfunctioning !

Nice finds!!.... I have to agree with Allen it looks to me that there is a mint mark under the 1914 but maybe its just my eyes playin tricks with me.

OK ~ I went and checked it again ~ sure enough there's NO mintmark. But, you're right, the picture I posted does kinda look like there's something in the mintmark area ~ but there isn't a mint mark! DANG!

Great finds! The originator of Red Ryder, Fred Harmon lived in Pagosa Springs CO. There is the local museum by his name here. HH
