Hello everyone today me and Ed went to the Regina's legislative building. It was built in 1905. We have been here in the past but haven't found to much.At the begging of the hunt I new we were both going to find lots! Anyway we started off on the right side of the legislative building.And some of the pictures are dark, I had my pictures on a weird setting.

Right off the start Ed had a great target at 4 inches. so of course we dug away.

We couldn't find it right away so we made the cork bigger. And there they lay!!!!

neither of us have never found two silvers in one hole (1958 and 1964 dimes).So that is a great start!


Next we headed over to a nice area were it seemed very promising!

I had a great target a 4 inches also so I dug away with the corker. when I pulled the cork out and cracked it in half I could see something silver.

Turned out to be a 19?? dime, because someone drilled a whole right through the middle!! But I do know that it can be anywhere from 1911 to 1936.

In the same area Ed had a great target at 5.5 inches. We dug down and could not find anything. so we used the pin pointer.This next photo is very bright but I think you can see the coin at the bottom of the hole.

out of the hole (1935)

Next I headed into some dirt hoping to find something old on top of the surface because the ground has been turned up.

Usually we find nothing in these type of areas but then i got a solid 65 at one inch. So i dug and out popped a copper coin.

The day was winding to a end. We had to leave in 10 minutes so we started to head back to the van when I hit a penny signal at .5 inches. So I just assumed it was a penny but to my surprise it was a 1919 dime!!!!!!!

Thanks for all the possitive feed back ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I hope You all Find lots of treasure to ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Happy Hunting
 

Great finds - a good variety of coins. Although the British halfpenny is a common one I wouldn't say its worthless - I value a lot of my junk quite highly despite it not been worth anything.
 

Terrific finds! Great pictures too. I think it would be cool to find an old British coin like that...worthless? I don't think so.
 

Sweet finds, congrats!!! :thumbsup:
 

being canada was run by the british and used british money for a long time -- its not that odd to find old british coins like the 1915 half penny in a former british colonial colony * commonwealth country . (note the coins used in canada and other common wealth nations like the 1919 dime were marked "canada " or whatever county while the british coins for home use in england were not marked "england"--- please note you can see that king george the V is on both the 1919 canadain dime as well as the "english" 1915 half cent ---while it might not be big bucks -- I would never call a cool find like that "worthless" myself
 

Wow, I remember reading this post from last year when it was a recent post...lol...I'm sure that was a fun day detecting.
 

Great looking hunting area and the coins are great. :thumbsup:
