A great turnout! Good to see you back in the hunt Brian. Taking a break from MD-ing?

"It seems like ordering a box every week will become an annual event"

Sounds like something Yogi Berra would say!

 

[bazinga]

Haha on the Yogi Berra...

Nope, never a break from detecting

I got an 1890 IH Penny and two wheats yesterday, 1918 and 1925.

It's just though to find places to hunt around here. The parks here have been hunted almost every day for the past 30+ years and it's tough to find even clad around here.

Actually I have LOTS of competition here and can rarely find a single loose half at a bank, let alone rolls of them. I had to have my bank order from Brinks to get these halves.

I've been ordering a box a week from my bank for the last few months, and I finally found my first
Franklin this past Friday...It has gotten very slow in my area...I hope it picks up soon...

Very nice finds! Walkers and Franklins are great...Wish my luck with halves would rub off on my MDing...Oldest find to date is a 1913 wheat penny and still no silver! HH
