    I got out for a little bit last night. I hunted this sidewalk strip in an old part of town. All I found was an old circular pop top, and 12¢. One cent was a 1944. The other cent is an unreadable Lincoln Memorial. I also found a 1970 dime. Still no silver.

    The dirt was as dry as … well … dirt. I’m going to wet it down and try it again.

    IndianHeadMan, do you find a lot of IHCs or do you collect them. Nice find.

    I believe it! You must be able to smell silver. You find tons of stuff in GG park. I would think that park is hit pretty hard.

    Those IHC's are few of my favorites. I also found an 1893 Saturday afternoon. This year to date I've found a total of 14 IHC's.

    I hope you find more good stuff.

    Nice finds! They have a look to them that suggests that a nice old silver coin or a great relic could pop out of the ground at any moment..

    The goldish thing is part of a modern pin of some kind.
