STREAK ENDS AT 3 BUT...


The end came Tuesday after finding 1800 coins 3 days in a row.  My friend and I didn't find much but I did manage to find a wheat penny - #100 for the year.  I not worried too much about finding the clad anymore though I found 2 memorial pennies, but trying to find the older coins and silver.  The year was kind of a wash out due to the hot summer.  So I may as well see what the woods and hopefully some private property have to offer.

BACK TO THE WOODS ANOTHER 1800 COIN





I met my friend again after work to try the woods where I found my 2 cent coin.  Still haven't found the foundation yet but are finding coins.  I found my 3rd 1800 coin - a 1865 Indian penny - my first this year and my friend found the first silver - a 1893 Canadian dime.  So now we know that there is silver there. Between us that's 4 1800 coins - he also found a wheat penny.  We could find more once the weeds go down. We may try it again later in the week.

ANOTHER1800 COIN



I went back to the woods this afternoon and gave it another shot.  I''m hoping to find an old silver coin back in the 1800's but instead found an unusual coin - a canadian penny.  I find canadian coins all the time but not back in the 1800's - still I'll take it.  It means there are more old coins to be found - maybe even silver.  This penny was made from 1850 to 1857 only so it's in that time frame.  Too bad the date has a huge dent on it - so I'll never know the exact age.
Saturday I went back to where I found all the wheat pennies - again hoping to find silver but only found another wheat and a 1947 nickel.  The silver is calling - just have to find it.
