I hit a number of spots today and found a lot of old coins.
I dug most of them in the dark, so I thought I would let you see the pictures of them before cleaning and let you guys guess what I found on the day.
There is no clad pictured. Everything you see is at least silver age or older. There are wheats, indian heads (of course), silver, tokens, and some misc.
I don't know the totals of what I found, but will know later tonight after I clean them.
UPDATE:
I went to a lot of sites yesterday with my friend Mark. I'm new to the area, so he was gracious enough to take me out with him. After he went home for the night I hit a yard near my house and I dug 16 wheats and the rosie there. I kept getting signals, but it was getting dark and their backyard had mosquitoes, so I will head back there today if my other site I'm going to doesn't pan out.
I finished the day with the following:
23 wheats
4 indians - 1891, 1893, 1906, 1907 (one isn't pictured, I found it hiding in my clad pouch)
1903 Barber Dime
1952 Roosevelt
1958 Indiana Dog Tag
1997 Great Britain 50 New Pence - eyeball find, found laying in a flower garden
Radio City, New York Token / Medal
Greenwood, IN, Token - My first from my new home town - Very cruddy, anyone know how to clean crud off aluminum, or is it a lost cause? I've got a good number of old tokens that look like this.
Emerson Brantingham Co. Foot - Dates from 1912 and was originally a stick pin.
Back of a pocket watch, was hoping for sterling, it wasn't.
Broken piece of metal marked Barclay, would have been nice to find it whole!
