A Morning at the Beach...


This morning, I went back to the beach to search the park. Not much at all in the TotLot, did find a dime and this pin, had to cut thru the material under the woodchips to get at the pin, it is 1" long x 7/8" at widest point. Has a circle with a green cross and the words on the pin says Rochester Safety Council - the words around the circle says Universal Safety one little word on the bottom is hard to make out. Also found a lot of pennies 13 are pre-1982's. Met some nice people this morning, one couple asked if I found something and at that moment it was a bottle cap but mentioned that my machine registered a quarter and there was still something in the hole, my pro-pointer was buzzing. Ah, got the quarter and a dime. Was out for about 2 hours. The 1969D dime at first thought was a 1960D, no luck after cleaning it a bit more I noticed the 0 was a 9.

Car trouble so hunted back yard...

Got up early to go to the beach for some metal detecting, noticed my husbands car was still in the drive and mine was gone (that meant his car wasn't starting, again). So, I decided to hunt the back yard haven't done for awhile. Think I did pretty good, got my first religous metal (silver says Malco Sterling on the back) came out of the ground clean and an old pin with a picture/print of young girl (picture is done in the stipple technique). and some coins 2 are wheats and the dime 1965 I missed by one year for silver. Plan on hitting the beach tomorrow for sure...

Coin Shooting/treasure hunting: .17 cents; 1 dime (1965), 7 pennies (1940, 1944 wheats, (2) 1976's, 1990, (2) 1991's).
