  • I have still not found a silver coin. I like that key. I find a lot of keys. What year is the wheatie? Can you tell what year the dime is?

  • as luck would have it, can't get a date on either coin. they both have some damage to them. strange looking key too. i think it dates to around the 1950's.

    i think silver coins are definatly getting harder to find. back in the 1980's it was pretty easy to find silvers. the best advice i can give is dig everything. being in an older spot helps too. personally, i try to avoid any area not older than 80 years or more. i would rather walk all day for a barber or older than a handful of 1920's or newer coins.
  • Nice find's DD,the key look's like it might be a safety deposit box key.HH,Tom

    Cheer up, COTC- there's a piece of silver out there with your name on it- just stay the course and keep at it! You'll eventually need to be changin' that icon picture. image

    It's certainly appropriate for all of us, no matter how "silvered" we are. image
