Woods diggin with The GeorgiaCanuck

[TheGeorgiaCanuck]

Went out today to hunt the woods of a park in Vancouver. You could say I had a good day. No gold but good silver and finds.

The loot. Lots of items.

Fridays loot. Forgot to post it.

Coins. Also got three 1964 Young Elizabeth pennies, two 1947 George VI pennies, 1937 wheat cent, 1947S wheat cent and a cut 3/4 1952S wheat cent. This is including Fridays hunt.

.925 Silver stud earring with nitro stone.

Silver coins. 1964 Young Elizabeth Dime and 1909 Edward VII Fishscale 5 cent piece.

Cleaned 1939 quarter from Friday's post.

GL & HH ALL!!

Cool digs man! Is that 1909 fish scale the round or pointed leaf variety?

I'm kinda confused on this leaf thing. And I'll explain why.

1. The leaves on the 1909 are IDENTICAL to the ones on my 1899/1911/1920 fishscales.
2. The ones for sale on Ebay and say pointed leaf are IDENTICAL to my 1899/1911/1920 fishcales.
3. Websites list the holly as the pointed leaves.
4. The 1899 typeface is spaced differently but I believe it to be the same leaves.

So my question is.

Are the leaves normally holly and the maple is the differant one?

Very nice, you're onto something there

Nice job! Love those Canadian silvers and even though I'm in New England, I'd love to find a fishscale. Found only 2 canadian silvers in my 10 years of detecting I think I need to make a trip over the border

It's hard for me to tell, but it seems that you may have the round (ML) leaves. Now, if you have the Cross and Bow Tie type, you have only the 5th one known. I can't see it clear enough in your pic, but man...could you imagine?!?!

[TheGeorgiaCanuck]

I'm not totally sure but I do think mine *IS* cross over bow tie. One side of the cross is fatter, sorta like a axehead. I'll try to get a macro shot soon.
