Default I Found Silver!

Not metal detecting but in the business change. I have been searching this change since August of last year and finally I got something. I would say that I have gone through 90% of all the change and after almost a whole school year I found something. Actually the kid gave me the change and I saw it right away. It is a 1961 dime. I cannot believe that I have not found one silver dime or quarter metal detecting but I found one in change. The lesson here is always check your change.

Default yes

need to figure out which parks or property are old. Just out in the front yard and found a ring. Too dirty right now but will clean it up. Does not look too good with what I see but at least a ring. I also found a few pennies.
