    #24 and #25 for the year

    Hi all,
    Things will slow down here a lot for me soon cuz work will really pick up big time. Anyway, managed to get out for an early morning hunt (no storms down southside, just a little rain). I managed silvers #24 and #25 on the year, 2 Winged Liberty Head dimes today (for those who take offense at the term "Mercury"), 1935 and 1936 in that order. These have nice toning, though the picture does not reflect it. Most stuff from this site has poor toning, so I am happy. Also, got a 16-s and a 37 Wheat.
    I am happy with the 16-s because it is one of the very few non-key Wheaties that I don't have in my non-dug collection of wheat pennies -- now to integrate a dug with non-dug .............
    Anyway, keep safe from hail round 2 and keep it real.

    -Jon

    That's not to say there'll be more silver for the rest of us, just less for you. Now come on, prioritize.

    Whew! I thought you were never going to slow down.

    I'm sure it will be tough to hang with you this year even with the " slow down"

    Nice to have some friendly competition though. Keeps you motivated a little more.

    So when we hittin the fields again?
