3 WHEATS AND A SILVER


Been doing the lunch hunts and today I found 2 wheat pennies - the first in a while plus over a buck and a quarter in clad.  Haven't been getting out in the evenings since my son wants to play ball - but tonight I sneaked out to my favorite school and found silver coin #21 - a Rosie dime and a wheat penny.  I was only there about an hour so it was a good hunt.  Overall clad is a penny under 2 bills.

NO WHEAT PENNIES - JUST SILVER OK WITH ME


I wanted to get back out today but the rain just won't quit.  Saturday I went to a park I hunted before and found a 1947 Rosie.  The day started slow and I ended up with 99 cents and nothing else - must have hunted about 3 hours. Later in the evening I went to my new favorite school and found my first silver coin there - a 1958-d Washington quarter.  I had found plenty of wheats but this was my first silver. I ended up finding little clad but the Washington made the day.

Sunday morning I went back to the favorite school and was finding quarters left and right.  Then I had a dime hit and found my 20th silver coin for the year - a 1952 Rosie.  I ended up finding over 2 bucks in clad.  No wheat pennies but that's okay - I'll take the silver anytime.
