Beautiful Day to Pull Silver PART II

Loco-Digger · Oct 30, 2015

I went back to the permission today. I discovered that the house was build in 1885. I put 5 hours in and am only 40% done with the 1st pass grid. I dug wheats galore, 27 total. :thumbsup:

(1909, 11, 17, 19, 19S, 25, 27, 29x2, 29S, 30, 35D, 36x2, 40, 42, 42Dx2, 44, 46x2, 46S, 49, 51Dx3, and one unknown date). I also pulled silvers #42 & #43, a 1964 quarter and a 1941 Merc. :hello2:

Pulled my 3rd ever buffalo nickle (1926), :icon_thumleft:

2 sterling silver rings, :goldtrophy:

and my 3rd ever Roy Roger's Good Luck Token. :hello:

I did some research on the US 312 collar insignia, it's a cool piece of history. :icon_thumright:

Congratulations on finding a productive unsearched site. My permissions seem to have either been thoroughly picked over or didn't have much to begin with.
