The last 2 days I have been detecting at the old high school with the CZ21. Day one was the best with 63 coins with a face value of $4.64, some keys, 2 cheapy rings, an old brass slide in the form of a leaf (really crusty), 3 silver dimes, a sterling clasp, a number 10 token and a brass angle Whatsit.
The silver dimes are 2 Rosie’s, a 1947 and 1962 (the 62 is a little beat up from its time in the ground) and a 1943 Mercury.
The sterling clasp looks like it came from a necklace or bracelet. It has a springy piece of brass that slips into a hole in one end and a piece of brass soldered on the other end. It probably had a cap on it so it was closed. It is open and it was full of dirt when I found it so the cap has been gone for a while. I searched the hole but there was no chain or cap, just what you see here.
The number 10 disk looks like it could be some kind of play money. It just has the number 10 on both sides and no other markings. It is the about the same size as a dime. In a yard a few years ago I found a 5 (size of a nickel) and a 25 (size of a quarter). If you have more info on these, help would be appreciated.
I am not sure what the brass piece was used for. It is pretty crusty but I don’t see any signs of markings so it could be anything. If anyone was a clue I would appreciate help identifying it. The site was an old civil was camp, but I think between the end of the war and the building of the school there were houses here so it really could be anything.
Day 2 I found 81 coins with a face value of $4.05, a beat up old valve stem cover, 3 wheaties, 2 silver dimes and a modern aluminum game token.
The dimes are a 1957 Rosie and a 1968 Canadian dime. The Canadian is 50% silver. In 1968 Canada made dimes out of nickel or 50% silver and nickel. The nickel ones are magnetic and this one is not. It’s only half solver, but it is silver.
So 2 more good hunts. The best silver count for land hunting I have had for a while (I did better in the water in the fall). Some interesting items and gas money. More fun in the fresh air.
The weather is turning colder so anytime I’m not on honeydo duty I will be out swinging before the ground freezes. Thanks for looking and may your coil lead you to good things.
