I tried an old park I hadn't hunted in the past. Not really a park but a large grassed area around a monument. I started poppin' wheats right away so I knew silver should follow soon (I hoped).
One interesting find was the remains of some kind of leather coin holder (in the photo are what I think are the top and botton of a tube-like holder). Inside was an IH (1900) and 5 wheats: 1914, 1917(2) and 1920(2). You can see in the photo the IH is still stuck to a wheat and where the wheats were lying against each other.
I was happy to find the Rosie, then not far from that I found the Canadian dime (1916). The ring is a sterling wedding band style which was found under a tree at about 2 inches.
I'm not sure what the tags are - there's no way to fasten them to anything. The large one is marked "F" and the smaller one has an address: 52 Fair st.
Total was 3 IHs (1864, 1890, 1900)
29 wheats incl 1909, 1911, 1913, 1914, 1916, 1917 (2), 1918s, 1919
Canadian dime 1916
Rosie 1948
