A couple days of 50 degree weather here in eastern Ohio has melted the snow out of my yard and though there is still a frozen layer about three inches down I'm able to cut through it :thumbsup:
I went to my front yard this afternoon covering ground I've been over and over again without any high hopes but I was surprised to find some clad, 4 wheaties and 1923 Merc!!
One of the neatest finds is this valve stem cap/tool made by The Dill MFG. Co. Cleveland,Ohio with a July 13,1915 pat date.
We've had snow cover and bitter cold the past month so it sure felt good to be able to dig a few holes today. HH :icon_sunny:

No I havent posted the Large One Cent, it is so worn and thin, you can see some of the stars and the date in the sunlight, the back actually has better detail, i will try to get a good image and post. :)

Just posted, :)
 
OJ,
I think it would be nice if you were rooting for the Lions, someone should! LOL.
They should be allowed ALL the draft picks, so they can compete next year!

Have a great day Jerry,
Mark
