2 Silvers

[dudes2112]

Went to an old park today that opened in 1957 as a park but the area was used by fisherman from the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company as early as 1922 (officially). Found a 1967 quarter, two wheat pennies, a Lincoln penny and the two silver coins below. First time finding two silvers in one day (heck, it's almost my first time finding silver period since these are now my 4th and 5th). 1952 Franklin half and a 1911 Barber dime.

Thanks again everyone, it's nice to finally be on the receiving side of a few compliments for some nice silver, been a long time coming!!

Heading out to the park tonight for a couple hours, hopefully I can snag two more! The 2 coins above were found in 2 hours and 15 minutes, so it could happen... maybe, hopefully... I'll let you know how it went tomorrow!

Went back out to the site the day before yesterday and got rained on a little so we only got a good hour of detecting in. My son found what I think is one of the bells to an old wall mount crank telephone and some clad. I got some clad, what looks like an old button (still trying to clean it up), and a 9mm shell. Heading back tomorrow for sure!!

Thanks again everyone. I plan on taking it to the coin store where they give free verbal appraisals. It is in very good shape except for the scratch I made behind her ear with the shovel, at least I think I made it. There is one other thing that might bring the value down... I dipped it in tarnex because it was all black and I've heard that's not good to do... I'll let you know when they give me a value.

If I can remember I'll get a picture of the back and put it up here.
