BACK TO WINTER

Well the return of the snow and cold has come back to Central NY surprise surprise.  I had a good 3 days so far but now it's time to get back to some research and hope the January thaw comes soon. Until then keep warm and it's off to the books.

BEST DAY SO FAR - ANOTHER WHEAT




I know it's early but I had my best day of the year.  Found another wheat penny - 1945 and a buck 58 in clad.  Was at the park - closest coin to silver was a 1966 dime. 19 total coins.  My 3rd hunt already which is what I had total last January.  I hope I can get a few more in before the "snow" gets here.  My take was 4-q, 5-d, and 8 pennies. I am behind last year's count not having a good first day this year but ahead in the wheat department.
