These finds are from the last few hunts I went on.
The hunts were around a few different old houses and in the woods where a old Church once stood.

Roosevelt Dime - 1953 D
Mercury Dimes - 1924 - 1941 D - 1944
Indian Cents - 1886 - 1887 - 1888 - 1899 - 1900 - 1908
Wheat Cents - (9) - From 1923 to 1955
US Army Pin - (with a threaded pin on the back)

Purely by coincidence I hit three detecting "milestones" last week.
7/23/24 - Found my 250th coin with a 1800's date on it.
7/24/24 - Found my 2000th Wheat Cent. :BangHead:
7/25/24 - Found my 250th Indian Cent.

Good Hunting !

Grats on some nice recoveries and totals. Don't like digging wheats? if you find a 14D or any 09S that would change your mind!

Check that 08 IHP for the S mint mark on the back at the bottom. I dug one a few years back and the only years IHP's had mint marks was 08 and 09.

Thanks for sharing and HH ALL

I looked - there is no mint mark on the 1908 Indian.
Thanks !

You did well
 

Found some history on the US Army Pin in my original post.
I just assumed it was from the WW 2 era - it's not.

This particular design of "Collar Pin" war issued to enlisted men in the US Army from 1910 to 1924.
Here's a photo of a non-dug example.

Here's a link to a good site if you've found any military pins -

Awesome Hunt!!! Congrats!!!
 

Nice finds! Congratulations! Those make for great days.
Thanks ArfieBoy - The way I think about this hobby in our part of the country and the world is ...
Any day you find a Silver coin or any type of coin with a 1800's date on it - is a good day.
