Big silver and more wheat.

[Merf]

I headed back to the woods today and beat the bushes. 90 degrees and the mosquitoes were biting through my shirt.[had Cutters on my arms]. Sweated it out for 3 hours and found these. 51 Franklin half and 1916, 29, 44, ?, ?, wheats. The silver made it all worthwhile.

Nice Franklin half Merf... The mosquitoes are brutal here as well... Luckily none have actually bitten me... Sure have messed up my train of thought though...

Nice 1/2 Merf. I'd love to find silver that big!
I remember the mosquito's up north (Wis., Ind , Ill., Mich., etc). They are so much bigger than those little stealth bomber type down south here. The ones here you can't feel on you. Also the ticks are smaller too. I remember the ticks in the midwest would suck up a pint of blood in a single serving! Ouch.
Congrats,
MM

Oh yeah, Nice Benjamin! I would sweat for that. I've only found one of those. Harder to find than the walkers.

NIce finds!!
If you wanna see the date on those Wheaties, Heat up a few inches of Hydrogen Peroxide in a microwave safe bowl until it starts to bubble, then put the pennies in and watch it fizz!

After the fizzing calms you can take a wet Q-tip and wipe off the dirt to see the dates.

Nice Franklin!
What a rush it must be to see one of those come out of the dirt!

I've never dug one up, but after I detected this guys yard, he came out and handed me one in a tiny envelope. The guy was like 79 years old. He insisted I take it. So I did.

That was 11 years ago.

Anyway. Congratulations!
