Some Late Season Silver And Other Goodies

We have had a stretch of very nice, and unseasonably warm, weather here is southeastern Wisconsin. That has enabled me to get out for several late season hunts. Usually, the ground is frozen by now.

Among my finds are a .925 silver ring inscribed C HUNT. I wonder if it belongs to Lloyd Bridges? (Those of us old enough will get that one.) It was my fourth silver ring of the season.

Yesterday I hunted a steep, wooded hillside at a park along Lake Michigan. I found a two coin spill consisting of a 1961-D Roosevelt dime and a 1944-D Wheatie. It was only my sixth silver coin of the year.

I also went back to the public stairway on a steep hill in the town next to where I live. I hunted it several times last year and this year and must have dug up 70 coins. I thought it was hunted out, but was wrong.

In about a one hour hunt I found twenty more coins, including two Wheaties, and a brass Boy Scouts Statue of Liberty brass neckerchief slide. A search on ebay shows these were made in the 1950s.

I am praying for a bit more warm weather before I have to put the detector away until March.

The photos show my finds, the hillside where I found the silver Roosevelt yesterday and the C HUNT ring.
