1909S and 1909 VDB on my mind. Updated 11-19-2008

crazyjarhead · Nov 14, 2008

Dear Fellow members. Today turned out to be pretty mild for November. Having had some rain, the ground was primed for the taking. I was able to get a short hunt in as I was busy fixing my son's girlfriends car for most of the day. So I ran out like a storm and told the wife I was going detecting. Headed back to my new hunting spot that has turned up a 1909 Wheatie and a 1909 Indian. No S or VDB..... yet. high hopes doesn't hurt anyone. I was able to retrieve a 1941 Nickle (WAR?) a harmonic reed, a clad dime and 3 clad pennies. Also found an old light swithch plate ( I think it's old.) Then I moved to the front of the house and hit a spot on the corner of the street that hasn't been hit yet... obviously! A small pocket spill= a 1907 Indian ( worn a little) and a 1944 S Wheaties. Then a 1935, 1941, and a 1945. Had 2 more good hits, dug the hole but could not find them..... too dark. I had to quit for the night. I wonder what's in the other 2 holes. It's supposed to rain tonight and Sat. so I don't know if I'll be able to get back there Sat. Thanks for looking and HH Ron. Thanks for looking.

UPDATED 11-19-2008
Went out the day before yesterday after the rain and found 8 more wheaties. The rain sure made a difference. I found the following: 1916, 1917, 1919, 1937, 2 1944's 1945, and a 1950D. I won't post any picture today. I'm headed to California Thursday on another run. Be gone for 2 weeks. Hopefully winter won't set in too early like it already has. Be safe and HH Ron

A nice assortment of finds! Those 79 and 81 pennies are especially good!

The 41 nickel is not a war nickel. I'm guessing you'll do another post about the rest of the goodies you pull out of there!

Congrats, I knew there was probably more to be had there, I just wasn't up to my usual speed that day. Took Friday off sick and still don't feel so great today. Thanks again for inviting me up to hunt with you, it was appeciated. I'm considering going tomorrow and braving the snow showers, probably not the best way to get over this throat and ear ache thing, but what the heck. If it's not too wet, haven't seen that problem in a long time. If you're off and brave, give me a shout.

Thanks. I wanted to go back today to find my glasses but also uncover the 2 good hits I had to abort because it got dark. I couldn't read my detector. I don't need what you have.... a cold from detecting

Thanks Jerry. I braved the cold for 3 hours today. Pulled in 8 more wheats. No Indians or silver. The rain made a big difference in finding coins.
