Some kid left his toy shovel at the park. I can use it as backup if I ever lose mine again!

You still found some silver anyway!!neat stuff.

 

It looks like you had a great day.

 

Hey Ed…. All the modern stuff that you find. Do you just stick it in your pocket and return it to circulation?

 

I clean all the clad and cents as best that I can then take a trip to the nearest CoinStar machine. I'm dumping the coins sometime next week to have some extra cash for my next vacation on August 6th to Puerto Rico!

 

I am not a dedicated CRH (for those of us who hate multi-letter acronyms that is Coin Roll Hunter) person. But from time to time I get some coin rolls to break my routine. I have noticed that One Cent pieces are very dirty almost all the time. I generally hate to touch them and sometimes won't look close enough to even see the date.

 

I am the sort of guy that will walk out into traffic to pick a coin up off the ground. I never pass up free cash…. Just yesterday I had to make a trip to the local dump. Opened the truck door and a nickel was on the ground covered in some chemistry experiment goo. I had to force myself to pass that one up. That was the nastiest coin I ever saw….. If only I would have had gloves…

 

Me too. But lately some are looking very dangerous.

 

That is one nice haul for only 4 hours Ed. Have fun on your upcoming vacation.

 

Not a bad group of coins for a short period of time. It was a hot one out there. Silver in any form is good but I keep hoping you’ll break last years record. If I don’t say it now I’ll forget so, hope you and your wife have a great vacation!

 

I would think that every day out metal detecting is a good day when anything is found!

 

A paddyman98 vacation; A large pile of new dirt spred in the nearest park ha. Enjoy a safe and happy time!

 

I have a very good metal detector and have used it once, 1.brass end of a spent 12ga. shot shell and 1. slq with no date. The individual that sold it to me takes trips to Europe and has found some very interesting coins. Some worth $$$, still on hold until the department antiquities releases them and he pays the tax on them. He also found a 1909 S VDB, not the best shape but at least F12.
Semper Fi

 

Reminds me of the time I saw about $10 in change at the bottom of a toilet pan in an Australian restaurant. Left it alone, but if I had had a rubber glove I might have been tempted.

 

My best street find was a $100 banknote which was blowing across a parking lot

 

Are you going to detect in Puerto Rico?
