Please, come see my wings and dollar!!

[Pepper2004]

I'm so excited I can barely type!! Today Mr. Pepper wanted to MD. I didn't get much sleep last night and really didn't want to but I told him OK.
Glad I did. We went to the never failing fairground and I started hitting quarters and dimes almost instantly. Within an hour I had about three bucks in dimes and quarters. I decided to try a spot I haven't hit very much. Got a hit.....dug a tiny hole and out popped the most beautiful coin I have ever found!! A 1939 Winged Liberty! I started laughing....then yelling at Mr. Pepper who was several yards away. I ran over to him and showed him my find. He had a kinda "pinched" look as he mutter..."that's great, honey." I then danced my way back to where I was hunting. Something flashy caught my eye. Lord and behold with only one part half covered lay ANOTHER WL!! A 1942.
I was running and dancing towards Mr. Pepper and showed him my second beauty. Why ya'll, I swear he looked at me like MasterEagle looked at BB! You know like a dog with it's teeth showing?! Scared me! I decided I best get as far as I could get away from Mr.Pepper.
So, I start back tending to my business and my "MD baby" started singing to me again! Low a behold I dug up my first dollar coin! It is a 2000 Sacagawea! I had my mouth all wide open and was fixing to yell and tell Mr. Pepper ......then I got to thinking about that creepy look he gave me. Decided I'd just stay quite and spring it on him when we got home. Hope ya'll enjoy my new "babies" with me.

Would it be a good idea or a bad one for Mr Pepper to realize you couldn't have done it without him? It was his idea to go out MDing, after all.

Ok, maybe not such a good idea...

Wow, way cool pepper. The fair seems to come to town every time you guys there. Very nice digs. Thanks

 

[Pepper2004]

All of you guys, and, gals, rock!! You're always so wonderful about sharing my joy with me! Mr. Pepper clean his coins after I posted this last night. He found a 1956 Wheat cent. He and I where both proud of him. For some reason he likes the Sac. dollar more than my WL's. Go figure...lol...I can still see a picture in my mind as that awesome "first" came out of the ground! I'm so use to brown coins....the sight of those Merc's made me suck in my breath and stare in awe.

For those of you that mentioned your neat finds....I'm very happy for you! Thanks again you wonderful people for sharing my joy.

Hey Pepper, excellent finds. I'm still looking for my first Merc. It seems that most of the coins we find out here are Rosies. Found 3 last year and 1 already this year. Keep hoping the next hole will contain the merc. Congrats on the dollar coin as well. Keep swinging that machine, and only good things will continue to happen.
