Hey guys,

Snuck a couple hours in this morning. The couple sites I wanted to hit weren't looking good this morning so I resorted to some back up places.

First, I went to an 1890s school for a bit. I was only finding trash and there was a lot of electrical interference so I moved on after 45 minutes.

I went to an apartment complex built in 1947 to hunt the sidewalk strips in front of it. My first signal was a 1956-D wheat penny. Definitely a promising start. It's a pretty big area so I envisioned finding a few more wheats and maybe a silver Rosie.

No such luck! An hour and a half later, I didn't find anything older than a mid-60s penny. So weird! I did find a bicentennial half and an arcade token so there were a few fun finds other than that!

Totals for the day:
-1 Wheat Penny (56-D)
-1 Family Fun Center Token
-1 Half Dollar
-2 Quarters
-4 Dimes
-1 Nickel
-27 Memorial Cents

Good luck in the hunt folks!

have had a lot worse days, seen days that one wheatie or a 50 cent piece would have made a big difference.

You got a few keepers and I think that's cool. I don't get many clad halves. Seem to be a rare item to find them. Keep after it.:icon_thumright:
