I have been off of work and away from the computer for a week. Here are the finds from the last few hunts:
Hunted some old tear downs that everyone in town has already hunted, however I was able to winkle out a 1960 dime and some wheaties. The dime was silver coin number 60 for the year.
I managed to find my first V nickel. Being lazy, I usually don't go for the nickels, because they turn out to be pull tabs most of the time. However, I was at an older site that does not have much trash. so figured what the heck, and low and behold a 1896 nickel appeared in the hole. It's quite toasty, but good enough for me.
TNet member Shovelnose was nice enough to take me on a hunt. I found a few coins, but the keeper for the day was a Herbert Hoover 1928 campaign thimble. It says "Hope & Happiness" on the other side... little did old Herb know that he would shortly be blamed for the Great Depression!
I hunted a vacant lot in the hood. The place was covered with trash. I found a few modern coins, then got a really nice hit, and out pops a giant green coin... what? an LC... no way... turns out to be a 1921 British penny.
Thanks for looking and good luck on your hunts!
