These are silver finds number 36 & 37 for 2021

 

That's a lot of finds for only 3 hours. Nice job.
Did you try to take a bite out of that Kennedy half? Looks like a chocolate coin to me. LOL

 

Rumor is that you've been riding around the city in that car....nice barber dime...

 

Nice finds, @paddyman98. Have you ever considered doing a Roosevelt dime album that's exclusively detected coins you've found?

 

Ever hunt outside the Bronx?

 

That made me chuckle!

 

That's a lot found for 3 hours! In your first photo, is that Kennedy Half missing it's clad layer? Lol, I couldn't resist. Glad you had fun!

 

I remember finding a proof Kennedy half in a sandbox years ago when metal detecting. I assumed(perhaps) the youngster got a birthday proof set from a relative and broke it out to spend at school... who knows?
During the years of hunting I found 9 silver halves...Just imagine how difficult it was to lose a silver half...and, unlike now, at the time that was a substantial monetary lose.

It'd be a Paddywagon!

 

Missed this thread. Keep prospecting. Like the car.
