Storms Finds from "Lee's Place". Plus a tear or two :-(
OK, First off I want to share with everyone how my day went today. I am all about sharing my finds, good or bad. Having said that...I found 2 key date coins today but "killed" one of them. I am already upset with myself enough about it, so please keep the jokes to a minimum LOL. It happens to be the only coin I "ricked" today and it was deep and on edge.

My hunting partner and I got permission to hunt a 64 acre site that has seen heavy use from 1904 to present date. As far as we can tell, it is a virgin site. From now on, I will call this site "Lee's Place", just like the Iceberg, shark pit, etc. These find came from our first 150' x 100' area. We grided this off and spent 5 hours in it going sssllllooooowwww.
My hunting buddy may not wanna post his find, but I will tell you what he got just to give you an example of what is still in the ground here....
His finds, 3 Barber Dimes, 1 Merc, 1 IH, and a few Wheaties. Very little clad so far.
My finds for the day, and a few firsts for me. I was hoping for my first Barber, but it wasn't in today hunt....Whatcha gonna do LOL.
My finds....
1916-S Obverse Walker Half (The one I killed) Key Date
1943 Walker Half
1941 Merc
Good for 5 cents token (soaking right now, not pictured)
And thanks to our soil, a really crappy 1914-D Wheat Cent (Key Date) Didn't picture well...Sorry!
4 other Misc Wheaties
My best day so far, a few firsts for me...
1st Half Dollar Coin
1st Silver Half Dollar
