    Street Tear Up !!!!!!! 5 Silver!!!!!!!

    21 Wheats $2.38 Clad ( 73 of that is pennies ) over 40 other junk items like pull tabs, pop tops, nails and brass fittings.

    I'm TIRED....My legs hurt... and of course my back is killing me too.....

    On the way home yesterday I got off the Highway because of an accident...too much traffic....

    Well that turned out to be ok...since I found this road construction....I LOVE road construction and street tear ups...

    Left about 10:00am got there at about 10:15am

    First target was a wheat...Third target was the 1942S war Nickel which I eyed first on the surface..
    After a few coins I got the 1944 Merc.then....
    I then called Twistedd up and asked him if he wanted to come over and find his Rosie....
    He was out with T F ,Mike and Bill. I told him I was finding silver....
    Well he didn't make it over there but I told him and T F
    where it was at and they can hit it another time...


    It felt good to find some silver....
    Summer road construction and street tear ups are starting to pick up now..
    So always remember to keep a look out for them... They are easy hunting grounds..
    If your going some place try a different route then you would normally go cause you might be surprised..

    In this case I got off the Highway and took another route and loooky what we got......

    Thanks for looking....... In all I got a 1942S War Nickel, 1944 Merc, 1964 Washington, 1963 Rosie and a 1937 Merc.
    Wheats were 1920 1928 1926 1940-1958

    Nice eye Bob. I saw a street tear up like that about month ago when Jon and I were out hunting that lakeshore park. I should have mentioned it but it totally slipped my mind. I will definitely not pass up the next one. Thanks for sharing!

    Way to add 5 more to the collection Bob. You looked like you got quite a workout when we saw you.
    Did you get that locket opened yet?

    73 pennies? Man I'll bet you were hurting!!!

    I wish I could have seen you - back "at home" in the middle of a tearup, big a$$ smile on your face and a lot of Woo-Hoo's!

    You are definitely back in the groove, Bob!!!

    Oh, and what's this 48 crap? Are you talking dog years?
    God bless our veterans! Thank you for your sacrifices!
