Discouraged TNetter...but here's some given to me.
Well fellow T Netters,
It's been a long day. I got up this morning and went for my regular run. The weather was amazing. I was excited because it has been few and far between nice days, and I haven't gotten to hunt a whole day yet. I figured...today is my day! So I went to the 1880's farmhouse to "clean" some iron out from the front yard. Usually when I "clean" a sight (including this one) I find some cool stuff (buckles, horse shoes, etc...) NOT today. Nothing worthwhile. Some .22 shells, a few .223, a square head, and a million little iron whatzits and nails. I am not even going to mention the pull tabs. The ladies cleaning the cans out of the trash dump 100 yards away made $90 today, I found one post 1982 zinc penny. That's discouraging. Anyway, I don't want to bring you all down with me, but you are TNet family...so I am venting to family...It got so bad today that I left the farmhouse and went to a city park to pull clad! To make things worse, some recent high school grads thought they would pick fun of the kid with the metal detector (that is, until I took the hoody off that makes me look 12, lost he ball cap, and pulled out my 12" long, serrated blade to cut a plug). That's what kind of day I had...In 7 hours of hunting I found $0.57 in clad...and that's it.
OKay, that's enough whining for now. Tomorrow is another day, and I will be visiting a house built in mid to late 1800's and last occupied in 1995. Got a lot of history there. The farm comes right up to the back door. Might even go to the little ghost town up the road a ways...We shall see...
So, I decided to post these 6 coins, the I found the 1899 Indian Head in my front yard my first real day of hunting. The rest were given to me by my mother after I got my MD. She found them in the register at work...Thanks for looking folks, and for the encouragement. Here they are...
1899 IH 1902 IH 1937 D Merc 1942 D Merc 1942 Merc and a 1936 D Buff (just one year off)
You are all great...thanks!
P.S. Looks like that 42 merc on the right got decked by one of you fellas that found it :P
