FOUND MY OLDEST COIN TO DATE







Did a solo hunt yesterday as D and another friend M had plans for the day.  My hunt started slow then I hit a wheat penny - so I was hoping for some silver.  Never found it but did manage to find my oldest coin to date - a 1808 large cent.  Took my by surprise - wasn't expecting to find that but I'll take it.  Found a couple of more wheat pennies and a token.

ONE OFF THE BUCKET LIST



I met up with D and we were off to a slow start.   The hits were slow in coming but I managed 3 wheat pennies right off then we had to move because of a women's softball tourny.  We hunted another area and I got some clad. I cleaned my coins and notice I found my first 1909 lincoln wheat - a VDB.  Wish the S was there but I'm happy finally getting a 1909.   Then we drove to a different spot - again the hits were slow - but I did manage silver but it took a while. So not a bad Saturday.
