5 More Silver, 33 Wheats, Token!! Found the Other Piece of my Washington!!

[Captn SE]

Hello Tnet Gang,

I'm posting back to back days because I've got to tell you I found the needle in the haystack today!! I went back to the same turf where I found that piece of Washington quarter Monday, and would you believe I found another piece of it? It was about 10 ft away from the spot of my first piece. I've only been able to do that one other time last year on a Rosie. Now if I can only find the last little sliver, I will have found 3 silvers from one coin. I doubt I'll find the last piece...it's very small. Mike(ratman) and I had another productive day today. I ended the day with 5 more silver (yes, almost everyone is chopped, those darn lawnmowers), along with 33 wheaties, and a "Good for 5 Cent in Trade" token.

It's been a fun and productive site, but hard on the body because you're always swinging on a 45 degree slope, so a half day's detecting is the limit.

Happy Hunting!!

Hi Dan,

Sad news today . . . . . my silver finding streak has ended! I went out tonight for a few hours and only dug three wheats cents and NO SILVER COINS!! DANG IT!! But I did get to watch Ron dig a 1947-S Rosie dime and a 1899-S Barber dime ~ that was pretty cool!

Take care!
HH!!!

Awwwhhh, that's too bad, Neil. Hey, all good streaks must come to an end. At least you didn't get skunked on the wheaties. Good luck on your next outing.

wowza on the wheaties... makes me wonder? h ow does one find a site with all of them lil guys thanx...tlc

Thanks, urnotalone1970!! This is just an old park I've been detecting in LA. The medium sized to large parks over here are loaded with wheaties. Between three old parks here, I've probably found over 600 wheats, and well over 150 silvers. Lots of large gatherings/picnics were happening in these parks back in the 40's/50's in a large metropolis area, thus a lot of old coin losses.
