Hello everyone!

It took me almost 11 full months to hit my goal of 100 silver coins this year . . . . . today I did it! Silver coin #100! It's a little bitter-sweet ~ I was hoping to dig a real nice silver coin for my milestone . . . . . a few days ago I posted here on Tnet that I didn't want it to be some common date Rosie dime ~ I should have done some more praying to the treasure Gods. My silver coin #100 for 2008 is a cut 1953-D Rosie Dime!! I've never dug a cut silver coin like this in 15 years of detecting! I've found plenty of damaged silver coins, but none CUT in half!

I also dug a 1942-S War nickel and a reproduction of a Hessian Revolutionary War button (28 mm in Diameter). Plus a bowling lapel pin that reads, "250 - FAIRFIELD LANES - EUGENE". I assume it was given to someone that bowled a 250 in league play or in a bowling tournament. Fairfield Lanes is on Hwy 99 in Eugene Oregon. The name has changed to STRIKE CITY a few years back.

Thanks for looking!
Neil

Half silver in hand is worth a whole silver in the bush. . . you made 100! :thumbsup:

CONGRATULATIONS, Neil on silver coin #100 WTG :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Like you said, it's too bad that it had to be a 1/2 silver Rosie
But Silver is Silver!!
That token I found was a Willard Filmore, 13th president.... FYI
Congrats again and see you tomorrow Gold Nuggets :icon_jokercolor:
 

You had me going there for a minute! Actually, it looks like a 55% dime! Congrats on a significant milestone!
 

WTG on your halfa dime congrats on #100 maybe see you tomorrow feeling better :tongue3:
 

Congrats on hitting the big 100 Neil :thumbsup:
I love that bowling pin.
Mike
 

Hey, Neil, you actually can't count that Rosie....it's only 50% silver. It probably has less silver than that War Nickel which you don't count!! ;D ;D :sign10: :tongue11:

I'm just joking with you buddy. You can count any silver you want. I'm not going to tell you how many cut silvers I've dug in the past two years...Way too many to count. ::) :tard:

I've found a button just like yours a couple months back.

Congrats on reaching your goal!
So you think you're going to be able to do the same next year? Or will you be buying an Explorer for next years hunting?

Neil,

Congratulations on reaching your goal of 100 silver coins in one year!

From one of your biggest fans,

Mike
 

LOL... when I saw the title I thought that was great :thumbsup: It's still great, but in a funny kinda way. I guess I was lucky on my 100th, it was a SLQ with the date still on. HH M
 

congrats on the 100th silver. I was lucky enough to fine a WHOLE 1953 rosie yesterday in some street construction
 

WTG Neil ! :thumbsup: I knew you would reach your goal of 100. I think the cut dime is a cooler find than just a regular old Roosie. Hey, at least you got the half with the date. ;D

Hi John,

I guess you're right! I could have found the other smaller half instead! I should be thankful that the date is showing and it's more than half the coin!
 

Way to go, OC! :thumbsup: Not many can say they've found a 100 silver's in a year. :icon_pirat:
