Sacagawea with Environmental Damage

 

Excellent and I bet you were hot,7 hours wow.

 

Extremely hot. It's dangerous being out that long with no liquids. But I've learned over the years how to avoid dehydration. I use plenty of sunblock and I wear a long sleeve fishing shirt with UV protection material.

 

7 hours? That’s a full time job! Nice finds again Paddy! I like the baseball token.

 

Is that a sterling silver pencil sharpener?

 

Hehe.. Aluminum. Second Sharpener I have found
Detected this one at the beach years ago..

 

Boy, that Sac dollar didn't do well in the elements!

 

Nope..
Everytime I detect one I think it's a 1800's Large Cent

 

I don't think I have ever seen one that is set up for 2 different size pencils.

 

Nice haul! I'm curious as to what you do with all the coins you find that are only worth FV (if that)...?
You've got almost $16 FV in this lot alone, will the bank let you deposit them in that condition? Clean them up and then deposit them? Or do you just keep ALL your MD finds?

 

U da man, man. Muney, muney, muneee!!!!

 

I can clean the dirt off the coins but the clad and nickels will remain looking dark no matter what I do..
Every 6 months I visit the Coinstar machine.
I'm due for a trip in June!
This is all the Clad, Dollars and Nickels. No Cents..


I have about $40.00 in detected coins at another location to add to these!

 

.

 

That answers my question!
Been wanting to get a metal detector for some time but never pulled the trigger, I think you might have just sent me over the edge lol

 

Lol, nice finds! Have you been able to pin the dates on the Indians yet?

 

This is me heading to the Coinstar kiosk

 

I will try. I have to give them a good soaking in distilled water or Hydrogen Peroxide.
Maybe in a few days I will see the dates.

 

I will tell you what it is. It's a woman's makeup sharpener. They usually have 2 different sizes.
Here is an example made by Lancome


I'm soaking today's sharpener in vinegar overnight to see if it cleans up

 

Probably anybody that uses it for a makeup sharpener now better have their tetanus shot up to date...
