1960-D Rosie dime ~ 1940 Canadian 25c ~ 1942 G.B. 3 pence ~ Sterling 'what's it'

Hello!

I headed back downtown to pick up where I left off last Sunday after our club's monthly outing. It got way too hot to detect any more on Sunday ~ and today was a perfect day to get out detecting!

It was a day for finding foreign coins!! Though first I dug a 1960-D Rosie dime ~ but then I dug a 1940 silver Canadian quarter (my first silver Canadian 25c ever) ~ a 1945 Canadian cent ~ a 1942 3 Pence from Great Britain ~ and a small bar thingy marked STERLING that weighs 6.0 grams. Plus I dug plenty of clad, but no wheat cents.

I took pic's of the coins before and after I cleaned them up. These are my silver coin finds #110 & #111 for the year.

THANKS for looking!
Neil

I live in the Texas Panhandle and I find a surprising number of Canada Monies and other foreign coins as well. Good job on the silver, the locket or what ever it is looks to be old.

Great looking sterling silver "what-ever-it-is". :notworthy: We produced silver coins for circulation here in Canada until 1967. :icon_thumright: In 1968 our coins were 50% silver content, in 1969 we went all nickel.
