My Mood:  |  Found and lost dept.
From the found and lost dept comes my story. Last night at work I found a really nice 1962 silver dime and a wheat cent from the fourties. I was pretty happy as you might guess. But as luck would have it, by the time I got home I had lost the dime out of my pocket.  It couldn't have been the wheat that slipped out, noooooo. Oh well better luck next time.  |

Yea, but it could be lost forever in that pit.
I actually looked this morning where I had parked at work last night, but no dice.
Not a big deal, I just can't believe I lost it that quick. I guess it's people like me that keep detectorist searching. | |

I've been nickel roll searching for a short while, and had almost completed my set from '58-'08. Just needed that '05-P Bison. I KNOW that I found one. I remember saying HA! really loudly, startling my wife. But by the time I went to put it in my Whitman folder a week later, it just disappeared. It was in my "holding" box, then... nowhere.
Not a big deal, but finding P coins out here is a hassle. I've seen 5 dozen D bison, but no P since...

if you pm me, I think I could probably set you up with one. Unless, that is, you want to do it from searching.

| I never found that 1920 after that
About 15 years ago I was happily searching a bunch of silver half dollars & found a 1920-P in EF. I set that coin aside. I also put the best example of each date into a couple Whitman folders & put all the remaining silver halves into $50 bags. I stashed that special 1920 coin in my secret hiding place & I never found that 1920 after that. I went through all those bags & Whitman folders one coin at a time over & over. I have since sold all that bulk silver. I'm still looking for that 1920 half. I think I'll look again tonight.
Very best regards,
collect89

Joe | I know what you mean. I"ve even gone to this length -- a friend of mine took a business trip to the west coast -- I asked him to go to a bank and pick up a few rolls each of cents, nickels, dimes, and quarters -- just so I can find some of the recent circulated D's that I'm missing.
Sounds kinda crazy . . . but, I guess par for the course for us types . . .  | |

Man, that is just terrible! Call the FBI, report a missing silver dime...
Well it is better to have taken a coin from the lost and found, and lose your coin, than never to have taken the coin in the lost and found at all...
