Hey all,
Saw a neighbor doing yard work yesterday so I stopped to chat. I asked about doing his sidewalk strips and he told me to go for it.
Snuck in a post-work hunt today. Was feeling a little dejected at first because I didn't land silver. While cleaning my Wheats after getting home I noticed one was a 1911-S. I was trying to remember if I'd found that one before and looked it up on PCGS. Sweet! Looks like I found one of the rare early dates. It was ringing up like a 12-34 12-36 at 4 inches. I wasn't being too careful thinking it was a zincoln and gouged it. Oops! At least I dug it though.
Keepers:
-5 Wheats (1911-S, 4 common date 50s)
-1 Seattle Rainier Valley RY CO token (new one for me)
Token rang in like a zinc penny too. You just never know until you dig it. Good luck out there folks!
