2 large cents were dug about 20 minutes apart. One is 1816 and the other is unreadable with punch marks in it. I think one large cent is an 1832 but not sure. 1944 twenty centavos coin - never knew they existed. Is it a brass coin? Buffalo nickel is 1935. Silver ring from Thailand.

WOW :o I haven't found that much silver in MONTHS! And I've never had any luck with large cents :-\ thats what I get living on long island..... everything old was bulldozed yeeeaaars ago.
 

Look at all that silver!!! Do you plan to clean up the coppers anymore, maybe with the hot peroxide treatment?

Great finds you found a really nice park!

Great job on the large coppers. :icon_sunny: Those are the coins that I strive to find. :thumbsup: The one with the punch marks is interesting. I wonder who put them there. :icon_scratch: I guess we'll never know.
 

That's some great finds from a few park hunts. Congrats on a nice haul of silver, the LC's and the ring very nice WTG :thumbsup: SilverSleuth
