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.

sorry to hear that.

Hey, check your car?

 

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.

 

Sorry for your loss Viper....

 

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...

I was roll serching nickles once and i found a 10% off center nickle and it got mixed up in my though-back pile

 

Yeah, I'm assuming that's what happened to me, but I'm smarter than that, dammit

Joe

 

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...

 

I'm just waiting for the 1916-D in the "Take a Penny, Leave a Penny" tray...

Joe

 

LOL!
I'm waiting for the S VDB in my change, after buying a Coke.. LOL!

 

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 thought I was smarter than that to. Kind of frustrating aint it.

 

Thanks, but yeah, i still want to find one myself. I will eventually, I'm sure...

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,

Those secret hiding places can be a little to good sometimes.

 

Yes but the best part is when you find them again.
Thats a big when did i put that there moment. :whistle:

 

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 . . . :whistle:

 

I'm just hoping to someday SEE a bison nickel in my change around here. I've seen several keelboats, and a couple oceans, and one Peace nickel, but no bisons yet.

 

I work retail, and see at least a few every day. I even found my P Bison a few hours ago! But Ocean in View is most common, I think.

It is kind of amazing how fast they are dissapearing from circulation. I know I don't see as many as I used to.
