Hey everybody.
Well, took the Compadre to a local swap meet yesterday and the whole place was mine (they only run on the weekends).
Put in my time and got a whole bunch of targets. The trash is in the bucket shot below. Always gotta post the bucket shot!
The jewelry is all costume, darn it, except maybe for the sunflower earring. The post is turning color but the flower isn't. I guess I need to test that thing.
In all, it was another fun day with the Compadre. Why more folks don't use this thing is beyond me.
I do have a couple of questions.
I dug my first wheat penny today dated 1944. Odd thing, it isn't a steel penny. It looks like a copper penny. I was under the impression that in 1944 all pennies were made of steel because copper was needed for the war effort. Can someone clarify that for me?
Also, do you that tiny red pin at the bottom. It's in the shape of a book with a quill behind it. It says "SENIOR" across the top and the letters "OBE" maybe "OBC" across the cover. Does anyone know what organization/club that might be?
