some old silver and damaged copper

[skierbob]

Yesterday, I got out to do some coinshooting in the cool weather. I hunted a wooded area near where there used to be a ballfield and picnic area. After a couple hours I had a few wheaties and a clad quarter. Then I got lucky and stumbled onto a little hot spot. First, I found a deep Barber dime, an 1892. Then a few feet away I popped an 1876-cc Seated Liberty dime. It too was about 6-7 inches deep. Don't ask me how it got all the way back east. Next I found a 1926 Canadian Cent. Then on my way back to the car, I popped an 1843 Large Cent, which looks like it was used for target practice. I guess that's what they used them for after they were withdrawn from circulation.

Today, I braved the 25 degree weather and hit another wooded area. The ground was still soft under a frozen, half-inch crust. I got real lucky again and found a 1939 Mercury dime right on top of the ground. A few feet away I dug a well worn, 1894 Barber quarter which was about 6 inches deep.

Here's the Seated dime:
