Default Silver Dime Triple Play today

I went back to an older farmhouse here in town today that I'd hunted several times before all of this rain. These 3 dimes were found in the same small section of that yard that has now given up 2 buffalos, 2 V-nickels, 2 barber dimes, a merc, a silver roosevelt, and an 1891 seated liberty dime (which was in a hole with 2 indian head pennies and 2 early wheats). I also found a dateless standing liberty in another area of the same yard.

While today's silver dime finds are a triple play....I've hit for the cycle in dimes in that yard now, having found each of 4 designs. The capped bust and earlier draped bust coins elude me, but eventually I'll be in the right place at the right time.

It's odd to find only these 6 coins....and no 2 of the same design.

That is one heck of a yard for old coins.
You did one heck of a job cleaning them up.
CONGRATULATIONS

This house was owned by the "town banker". It's strange that all of the older coins have come from the lower side of the sidewalk. On the other side of the sidewalk and throughout the rest of the yard...a few wheats and the slick SLQ.

I just rinsed the dimes with warm water. I'm out of Tarn-X, but I think this buffalo (also a 1937) will clean up OK)

There's still Morgan's grove to hit yet. I bet it's still full of deep silver
