I hit the jackpot this afternoon! I went for a couple of hours to hunt an old school that I’ve been working lately. It’s a school with an odd time period of use. It was in operation from the early 1960′s until the early 1970′s, then it was closed down. I found three silver dimes there last week. Honestly, I didn’t hold out much hope for finding any more.
Boy, was I wrong!
I dug 8 wheat pennies …
And, curiously enough, I dug 3 old Canadian pennies from our Wheat Penny period …
But the real “goods” was the 6 silver dimes that I found! All in a relatively small area!
I also dug a pretty good pile of clad. Actually, there’s not a Zincoln in the bunch. All of the pennies are genuine copper from the 1960′s. Every one of them gave a really high / borderline dime VDI. Frustrating …
