Better late than never, but it's round-up time!
June was a heck of a month; I managed to break my silver coin record again with nine total recoveries. Of particular note is the old sterling high school commerative spoon, which in retrospect I'm very thankful I didn't smack in half with my shovel. To date, it is one of the my heaviest silver recoveries, but more on that later...
Wheat cents for the months numbered 28, 10 less than last month. I'm slipping!
I was also very pleased by the silver quarters; last year I only managed to find two quarters total, a Barber and an SLQ, so I'm definitely going about it backwards.. The ring is sterling marked but I'm fairly certain it's some sort of crystal and not ice encased within.
The five-cent-in-trade token is also a first for me, found under a root at my old elementary school.
Also found in June was the huge ornate brass hinge which I thought was pretty swell and the non-precious Jesus charm.
However, the big stumper for this month was the mystery coin, which I've crossed posted with better pictures in the Help ID section. It's like an odd, mirrored copper counterfeit of a Merc. You be the judge!
Continuing thanks especially go out to IDXMonster for the tips and suggestions!
