Got out to the "scraps" park yesterday. Was able to pick up 5 silver coins, including an 1887 Seated dime! I just barely scraped the edge with my shovel and was bummed. Upon getting it home, I could see the dime was also bent, and used and abused, so the little scrape wasn't as big of a deal at that point, haha.
So, the scraps tally from yesterday is:
2 IHCs - 1864 and 190? The 1864 must have been crisp when it was dropped - it has great underlying detail.
5 wheat cents - haven't gotten dates yet
2 Buffalo Nickels - both dateless
2 Wartime Nickels - 1942-S, 1943-P
1 Seated Dime - 1887
1 Barber Dime - 1908
1 Merc Dime - 1941
Still plenty of park to go! Heading back today. If this is what I'm finding, can you imagine what others before me have picked up?

Any site that produces a three-type silver dime trifecta is a good site in my book.
Actually, your hotspots count as GREAT sites in my book.
