1900 Quarter / Silver Kennedy Half Dollar / Tokens / Gold Watch

[floodplaindetector]

Finds are from some hunts over the last few weeks since my last post including a weekend trip with James.
All finds were made at public sites except the Japanese 10 Yen coin and a few wheat pennies. Those were found at a close 1958 house permission.
Last weekend was a 14 silver weekend from my home state and state bordering to the south.
It was nice seeing the 40% silver version of the Kennedy half dollar for a change. They don't come up often.
The 1900 quarter was an exceptionally deep target that I almost gave up on. Glad I didn't.

So many great finds Dave! Love that Barber quarter and JFK half. Just don't find those very often at all. Really like the Cash coin and those tokens. Beautiful watch too. You are the master of pulling out of the goodies my friend! Wish you continued success and hope you get out lots this season to make up for that winter. ATB Greg

Thanks Mike! I will keep hunting as it is still fun. Yep, I chase a lot of deep iffy signals that turn into something good once in a while.

Thanks Mkus!
Your 2 Reale is unbelievable. If I saw that come out of the ground I would amazed. My oldest silver so far is 1853.
I will stick with my good old Etrac. I compare it to a smooth riding heavy Cadillac.

Thanks Greg, Yes, that 1968 half was a nice surprise as so many of those Kennedy halves I pull are after 1970 and are always clad. This is only my 2nd silver Kennedy half ever.
I pulled the Chinese cash coin with my stealth X-5 and one of the tokens, a buffalo and a deep mercury dime at the same site with my NEL Storm coil. Talk about a one two punch!

I really enjoy those quality Finding America videos you have been making. Your extreme interest in history and love of our great hobby really shines through in those videos. Keep it up!

Thanks. I haven't been able to find any info on the maker yet. I am thinking it is pretty old.
