First silver of the year and it’s a 1881 half dime !

[Mark kus]

We’ll hit the park near my house and I’ve pulled a lot of old coins from it probably over 100 acres with a beach also.
The 1881 was near where a huge tree stood and I’ve detected around it before but it was a nice little squeak the silver dime was in in the next camping spot over i found some wheat pennies and clad I only had about 40 minutes to detect park closes at sunset good luck out there more river detecting is the goal this year ..

Thanks guys I think it’s either a 5 cent token or play money found that along a river …

Interesting looking half dime, never seen one before ConGratZ and thanks for posting it. GD, Don

Nice recovery!!! One would think those tiny coins would be more plentiful as much easier to lose or drop.

1881! I'm still looking for my first pre 1900 coin, maybe this year I'll get lucky.
Thanks for posting.
