Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 10/23/2016 6:59 pm Yesterday I explored a new spot, a wooded hillside behind the public library in Port Washington, WI. My daughter works at the library and I've eyed the hill for quite some time when I take her to work. There is a steep public stairway that goes up the hillside through a small wooded area. I hunted for about two hours and had some good luck, at least for me. I dug up a 1964 silver Roosevelt dime, four Wheat Cents, including a 1937 and also found a medal which my other daughter, who's a wiz at Internet research, quickly identified as a 1909 patented Holy Name Society medal. I've attached photos of my finds, the stairs and the slope of the hillside I hunted. There's also a link to an ebay listing for another example of the medal. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-190...170964151735 Paul Bulgerin Edited by Paul Bulgerin 10/24/2016 11:41 am Report this Post to the Staff

Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 10/24/2016 9:59 pm The silver dime was about four inches down on a flat part of the path. One of the Wheaties was sitting right on the surface on the slope. The others where three inches down on a flatter area. I went back today for a couple of hours and had one of my best hunts ever. I'll post photos of today's finds tomorrow. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff
