An evening of silver and Australia...

[beetle662]

Interesting night to say the least. Haven't been out due to allergies and finally think I have them under control. Nothing better than a morphine drip and nights stay to take the pain away from reactions to the allergy shot.

Anyway, tried out a new place. Lots of area to cover here so since I was on a bit of a time limit, I decided to hit what I felt to be the most productive areas. This place dates back to the 1920's, but I suspect that something was here before the current residence.

Came away with a lone wheat penny (1944), but a cool Sterling Silver compact lid. Too bad I couldn't locate the rest of it. Also on the keepers list for the night is a 1944 Australian Penny. First one of these I've ever found. I was pretty excited when I first saw it, hoping for an LC... but I'll take it nonetheless.

Thanks for looking and happy hunting!

Thats a sweet silver lid! Love the artistry of the late 18 and early 1900's. Keep en coming!
