ANOTHER 3 WHEAT PENNIES

I went to my son's old ball field where I have had luck with silver and wheats.  Didn't find any silver but did manage another 3 wheat pennies.  Also hit the tot lots - found $3.34 in clad.

HUNTED THE WOODS

Met up with some other hunters and we tried the woods where I found my 1820 coin.  I managed to find 3 wheat pennies,  - no silver today and a buck 42.   Another hunter found a silver quarter, buffalo nickel,  wheat pennies and clad - another found some wheat pennies and clad and the last found only clad.  We agree there are still some old coins to be had, but finding them is another story.

LUNCH HUNT NETS 4TH SILVER COIN

Did a quick lunch hunt before the rain came.  Still finding coins even though I've hunted the area pretty well.  I think there is still some silver there so I will keep hitting it a little while longer.  Today's finds were a buck 48.

FIRST EVER LARGE CENT COIN

Went back to a wooded area where I had found a silver quarter and some wheat pennies.  It was slow going at first finding only a couple of memorial pennies and a quarter - then I found a 1941 wheat penny.  A few minutes later I had what I thought was another penny hit - well it was - I was not expecting to find a large cent copper 1820 yupeee!! I thought it was a token until I wiped it off.  My oldest coin to date.  Then I found a silver quarter 1957-d so this turned out to be a great day.  I will heading back in the woods soon.
