Hi all,
We never got the rain we were supposed to get..the last decent rain we got was September 6. I didn't have permission to check any new yards, so I went to the sports field where I found a silver Kennedy half 2 weeks ago, but only found clad..very little clad
I decided to go back to a yard I got permission to search a while back that produced a silver Washington quarter, 2 Mercs, 3 silver Rosies and over 40 wheat pennies. I searched this yard like crazy over the last few weeks, making about 7 trips there. The pickins were few and far between, but I did manage my second war nickel in 2 weeks time - a 1943-S. I had no idea what my target was because I dug all "iffy" signals again, and the ground was so hard and dry, which are the only 2 excuses for scraping the crap out of the tales side.
Luckily they made more than 104 million of the things or I'd be losing sleep tonight.
I also found 2 more wheats (1936-P and 1953-S), a dart, a dog tag (belonging to a dog one street up according to the address printed on it), and a few odds and ends, including the remains of a very old watch.
I also found this old pull tab, the only one I have ever found that looks like this..it has 23R stamped on the other side and 3 small circular indents.
If anyone here knows their pulltabs, please tell me how old this one is.
