I was going to post my weekend finds Sunday evening, but after I typed up the post I realized it was long and boring. Lol I’ll try to make this a shorter version.
Really the only reason for the post is I’m pretty sure I found my first steel wheat cent. It was in a hole with 2 other wheaties. I wouldn’t have known what it was if I hadn’t watched a YouTube video recently where somebody found a similar spill. Even though I can’t tell for sure what it is, I think it’s a pretty cool find.
About 5 feet from the wheat spill I dug a very shallow quarter that was dark so I thought it was clad until I noticed it was very worn. I rubbed it a bit and some of the tarnish came off. I assume it spend most of its lost life on or near the surface since it’s so tarnished. (No in situ pics since I thought it was clad.) It’s a 1940 something.
Little corner of a park where I found the silver Washington, the wheat cent spill and the Rosie. Other Rosie was found at a different spot earlier in the day. Saturday evening I was at the same spot and a gentleman came out from under the bridge and had a seat on the manhole cover to enjoy his brown bagged beverage. I left soon after with plans on coming back the next day.
Various finds from the weekend. Tiny Tootsie and a currently unidentified token.
Thanks for looking.
