VERY early morning hunt to clear my head, got 4 silvers

[Goes4ever]

Yesterday my grandpa who had terminal brain cancer passed away in his sleep. He was loved by all and will be severely missed by his friends and family. Heaven gained an angel yesterday when he passed away. I was very close to him and was pretty tore up, the only thing I knew to do today to clear my head was to get out alone and swing the coil. I think Grandpa was smiling down on me today as I had a great early morning hunt. I started at 6:45am and was done by 9:15am, the humidity is brutal today!

I went back to the lot where they tore down an old home, I hunted the front half 3 weeks ago and they finally got the back half cleaned up, it was overgrown bad. The funeral home next door to it, bought it and is making a parking lot, so everything I found was saved from being paved over forever. The first hunt gave up a silver washington, masonic token/penny. Some wheats and a chinese cash coin.

The back yard was even better. I got a 1944 merc, 2 rosies, and a sterling ring, I thought it was odd to find 4 silver, and no wheats. But hardly upset I wasn't finding any, then bam, 3 wheats right in a row. I got the three other piano items all in a 3 foot area. I wonder what they are and if maybe they were hooked together at one time? the smallest one says washington DC and is dated 1906....any help on these would be appreciated!

It was a great short hunt and I really needed it, Rest in piece gramps, love ya and will miss ya!

Great hunt. I just wanted to mention that a few years back I lost my father to a car accident due to a heart attack. Often when I go out MD'ing I find myself at places that my father and I used to frequent when we would go hunting or fishing together. I find myself going back in time remembering good times and happy memories we used to share. In some small way this helps me cope with my loss and believe it to be very psychologically therapeutic in dealing with my emotions. Sorry for your loss and happy hunting to you. Bryan H.

I lost my Grandpa to cancer just a few years back. He was my best friend, mentor and he well was loved by many too. He was an officer in the Italian military in his younger years. I can remember so many people saying after he passed ,"I'm so sorry", "that is so sad" Crying and moping. My Grandfather asked me not to be sad when he passes, but to be happy because there is another part of the journey we go after this short stay here. And just knowing that he wasn't suffering any more with the cancer made me relieved. So I know where my Grandfather and Yours is at, is a good place and they are both no longer suffering with the disease. We will see them soon!

Take care buddy
