I was able to get out for a few hours yesterday afternoon. I'm still hitting the urban park that's been producing for me this spring. I'm up to 8 silvers and now an IHP out of that park, as well as many wheaties. Today's finds included the 1902 IHP, a 1943 Merc, Five wheats including 2 from 1918, a 1928, a 1935 and a 1945. I was lucky enough that they all came out looking good except for the '45.
I also found a 10 Yen Japanese coin from 1952 there yesterday. You all are lucky, I had to get the wife's help and we learned a bit of the Japanese number system to get that date. Finally, a wedding band marked 14K but looks like it was probably brass with just gold gilt, and a "Jimmy Allen Flying Cadet: Colonial". I was thinking the pin was a promotional item from Colonial bread since they had a huge bakery here in town at the time, however, it was Colonial Insurance. The pins were given away in 1934. Apparently, Jimmy Allen was a radio personality on air from the early 30's to the late 40's. Anyway, enjoy some pics.
