Six silvers in doubles

[McCDig]

This was a day for silvers and one for doubles!

Stayed pretty much in just one triangle of ground, set off by a couple sidewalks in a Baltimore park. First coin was a 1902 Indian and there was another Indian late in the hunt, an 1894.

The silver coins consisted of two dimes: a 1901 Barber and a 1944 Merc, and two 1943P war nickels; one of the war nickels was removed from the hole stuck to a 1935 Buff. The Merc was part of a 3-coin spill that included wheats from the '40s and '50s. The other two silvers came in the form of .925 rings: a QVC Diamonique with cubic zirconia stones, and a second fashion ring. Some older finds included a suspender clip, civilian two-piece button and a collar stud. Ten wheats were dug in all, with the two earliest being 1909 and 1910. Well over $3 in clad.

This park is not "hunted out"!

Thanks for checking out the pics, everyone.

Thanks Silver John! Not bad considering I started the day off by pulling two memorial pennies form the tot lot.

Not sure what it is about them, but I just love the buffalo nickels. I've only found a few and none of them were as nice as that one.

Keep swinging my friends!

Wow, that park is giving up the goodies McCDig. You are one lucky MDer to have a keeper producing park. You dug 2 weeks of keepers in one hunt dude. I've only been averaging 1-2 keepers a day and have only been hunting on the weekends.

Really a lovely day out there in Baltimore! Very nice....

Congratz! That's a very nice haul! And no, that park is definitely not hunted out. That's what I would call a very promising park. The only park I call hunted out, gives up a wheat penny every 3 hours or so, and a silver dime once every 24 hours of swinging. I don't go there anymore!

Sweet!!! Congrats on your double day digs of copper & silver!
....good thing you weren't digging wives!

 

[McCDig]

Thanks Msbeepbeep! You're right. One is all I need.

 

[McCDig]

Thanks Captain! That is the very first Barber dime I've dug here. Had a number of Mercs and even 4 Barber quarters. Clad aside, you'll not be surprised that the most common deep target for me here is the ubiquitous wheaty, followed by the IHP, and after that, Buffs and war nickels are pretty much tied for third. Never found silver anything here bigger than a quarter.
