50's Yard Finds

Hi all,

Some guys up the street are rehabbing a house that has been vacant for some time, so I asked if I could check the yard and they said to help myself :thumbsup:

I left and came back due to waves of rain, but managed to find a little silver in the form of a 1943 quarter :headbang:

It turned out to be silver coin #21 so far this year and my 7th silver Washington of the year. I also found my 24th hose nozzel..if anyone has found more than this, let me know..I have no idea why people in this neighborhood lose so many of the things :dontknow:

Other than the usual garden variety knicknacks (and a play money $2 bill I found on top of the ground under some trees), I found 6 wheats (1944-P, 1945-P, 1946-P, 1953-D and 2 1956-D)...my total for those so far this year is 117 :thumbsup:

Right next to one of the wheats was a Shell token from the 1960's Famous Americans coin game, which is the 18th one of those I've found :thumbsup:

Today's hunt brings my coin total this year to 1,714 :hello2:

Here's the pics of today's short hunt:

Hope you all find a little treasure this week.
