Field of wheat & a dime

I've been going back to the spot where I dug the large, lucky penny. So far only wheats, 18 of 'em.
2-19's, 19-d, 20-d, 2-25's, 26-d, 28, 29, 41, 2-44's, 2-45's, 2-50-d, 53. All came from what was a small backyard area, now a park. Today I got permission to hunt a new farm site, freshly mowed. So fresh that the groundskeeper kept going by and spraying me with grass, and laughing each time he went by. My kinda guy! Got a 1910 wheat and squeezed by with a '64 Rosie.
Now we just need some rain and I'll be hitting this place hard.

I wish I could be out there hunting with you! That's a lot of wheaties you've been digging up without me. Congrats on your 46th silver! I think we should come up with a new spot for the weekend though. I found a new place close to home that I'll have to tell you about later ;-)

Nice Job ...
Is it just me or does one of the wheats (lower right of picture) still shows some luster? Given my recent experiences 18 wheats and a dime would send me sky high!

Nice bunch of wheats!
You know there's got to be quite a bit of silver laying around there.
Good Luck!

Thanks! Whenever I get a unique date I don't have in my folder yet, I clean them up with 000 steel wool and they come out pretty shiny like that.

Wow, great digs! A silver dime is a great day for me. And those wheats? Holy shnikies. I think the most wheats I ever dug in a day was 13, they were all in a VERY old yard. Two 1909's and the rest all very early wheats...but no silver there!

Great hunt!

Great hunting....Now that you have all the wheats cleared away, you can find the deep silver there!
