4 silver coins ~ silver ring ~ old button ~ 2 wheats ~ clad

[oddcoins]

Hello!

Early Saturday morning I met up with Ron & Richard to take the short drive up north to our favorite hunting grounds. It was a nice cool day to do some detecting ~ we had a great time! Here's what I dug:

1943-S Mercury dime
1944-S Mercury dime
1947-S Rosie dime
1957-D Rosie dime
1919-S Wheat cent
1945-S Wheat cent
1957 Canadian Cent
11 clad quarters
32 clad dimes
NO nickels
94 Memorial cents
old button
1953 License plate tag
Silver ring marked 925

I took pic's of the silver & tag before and after I cleaned 'em up. These silver coins are #45, #46, #47, & #48 for the year!

Anyone know about old buttons? This one is a little smaller than a US dime ~ the back reads M. C. LILLEY & Co. COLUMBUS (or McLILLEY, maybe?). It's hard to make out but I think it reads THE UNION in the shield on the front of the button. How old is this thing?!

Thanks for looking!
Neil

Yeah, I was really frustrated that I dinged the coins! I wasn't too upset because there were just common date coins. But I'd still be crying if they were key date coins!

They cleaned up nice. What did you use to clean?

I use a simple baking soda and water paste to clean up the silver coins ~ just scrub 'em in the palm of my hand. I only do this to common date silver coins ~ I'd never do it to a rare date coin.
