Yesterday morning I had some free time so I went to one of the oldest city neighborhoods to see if I could find a good hunting spot. An abandoned house made of adobe looked like a good spot. The first coin I found was the 1942 Washington(incidentally this is my first silver Washington).
The other coins are 1944 wheat, 1944S wheat, 1945 wheat, 1967 clad Roosevelt, and an Arizona tax token--circa late 30's, early 40's. The tax token was the state's way of getting the 1/3 cents revenue since the tax rate was based on a percentage. I've found several of these MDing. Anyways, I wanted to share and as I said, I feel it was a good 1.5 hours of hobby MDing. (Especially happy about the silver Washington)

Phew, rough but I've found much worse silver. Even the rough ones I speak of felt soooo good, so just ignore us a-holes talking about the looks and enjoy the bliss.
