Water Hunt Today

[scott.f]

I got in a nice water hunt today. It was a bit cold with frost on the ground when I headed out but the colours of the leaves and a bright sunny day made it fun to be out. There was a strong wind but lots of targets kept me busy so I didn't notice the chill, I was too busy..

Got a good amount of coins and lots of rings today, including one 925 silver and two 10k rings. Also got a 1968 silver quarter, the last year we had silver coins and the only year they were just 50% silver. But...I'll take it!

Here's the loot for the day, the Tiger Shark did me proud.

Very nice hunt (understatement of the year). Re Bob Oz's post:

Very nice Scott. On the average, how deep were you hunting?

Nice finds, but the 1968 quarter is not silver, unless it has an S mintmark. Not even sure they minted silver proof sets in 1968. The halves from 1965- 1969 were 40% silver. But great finds.

mrowdy...... same thing i was thinking. Most except for the PROOF were copper nickel. Take a good look at the side of that coin since its rare a proof coin gets into circulation see if its sandwitched. You just killed the finds thou.... outstanding ring count.

Canadian quarters were silver until 1968. Very nice finds, especially the rings.
