Oldest silver for me today....................

[Greg from Mi.]

Today I went to an old park. Found some clad and then I got a signal that sounded different but had just enough of a good tone to check it out. At first when I saw how small it was I thought I had found my 1st silver 3 cent. As I looked more I though, no its not a silver 3 cent its a half dime. I then flipped it over and saw the words " 10 cents" and thought it was a Canadian dime.
When I got home I looked it up in a foreign coin book I have and found out its not a Canadian coin at all. I started to flip through the book and then found it. Its a 1889 silver 10 cent coin from the Netherlands. I took the picture next to a dime so you could see how small it is.
This coin is now my oldest silver beating out my 1892 Barber dime.
Sure had fun but getting cold here

this was found in the same park we hunted on Friday when you were here. Not the park we hunted on Saturday with everyone on the main day.
I have been using your tip of maping the park so I know where I have been and where I havent
Your tip is paying off
God bless my friend
