Coin Findings by Decade

I went back to the park where I had found some silver coins.  I made special effort this time to try for the old coins, which means that I make sure to recover all the targets that are more than 6 inches deep.  It is a lot of work to get the deep coins out and make the grass look nice when you are done.  I thought it might be interesting to show the ages of the coins.  The oldest coin of the bunch was a 1919 wheat penny.  Then we skip a couple decades, then we have coins from every decade from the 40's to 00's.  Found a total of 4 wheat pennies, which is a personal best, but no silver coinage.
