Default Hat trick at a torn up sidewalk

Finally, after searching blocks worth of torn up sidewalks I finally find some silver. A hat trick of sorts - silver dime, quarter and a wheatie. I also found a clad dime, quarter and the usual mem's and Zlincolns. None found directly on the actual sidewalk, but to the side, The Rosie was just under the surface so I'm guessing it was scooped up with old sidewalk fill. The quarter was less than 2'' deep, they weren't near each other. No nickels, but plenty of 70 style pull tabs ;-( Good thing I hit it Wednesday because Thursday they had the forms in and were laying the cement.

The quarter is really beat up, but even in better shape, mostly just melt value. There are some double die 1942-D Q's with either the obverse or reverse doubled.






Wheatie really gunked up - no idea on the mint date.

Cheers!

I think one of the funnest things about this forum is looking at others finds.
A picture of a treasure no matter how small is memories of having fun.
That's something hard to 'pay for' now days.
