Had a surprise opportunity to go back to the field tear out and see if I could find any more silver.
Hahahahaha, well that didn't happen. Diggum found the last silver dime out of that place the day before and I guess I cleaned it out fairly well this past Saturday. I really figured there ought to have been more there. Another guy was there with a big coiled ML. He came up empty with regards to silver. jl1252 did a drive by and greeting me from his car (thanks Jeff! and sorry it was a wasted trip for you
)
I did find a crushed and beat to heck aluminum Thimble. To me a pretty cool find, my first ever thimble. Wish it was sterling of course, but man, it's a keeper
Also found the top part of a lantern which I think is pretty cool too.
So totals out of this tear out:
5 silver dimes ('43, '41, '64, '39, '44) - my first 5 silver day
1 sterling St. Christopher pendant
N.L. WOLD Good for 5 cents in trade token - bucket lister
Aluminum thimble - bucket lister
16 wheat cents
$4.33 in clad
I know of 1 more silver dime ('26) that came out of there and 4 more wheat cents (Diggum). There could have been others that hit the place after that Saturday I was there. No clue.
I really thought there would have been A LOT more silver (why no quarters or halves
)
Anyway, super fun while it lasted, last night was truly my last trip there.
That said I may go try the school grounds or at least put it on my list of places to go during the summer
