Hey folks,

All told, a bit of an underwhelming hunt today. Earlier in the week I worked that parking strips next to a house and pulled up about 12 quality items, Wheats, tokens, silver, etc.

I decided to work the strips from the house right next to it today and only pulled one oldie, a 1919-D wheat. Still, that's one of the oldest wheats I've found in weeks so that was nice.

Next permission I was looking to get, no one was home so I sauntered back to my place. Worked my yard for a bit without pulling anything old and then did the neighbor's side yard which he offered I could do a while back. The only downside is that he mentioned they tore it all up to redo some plumbing a while back.

Not much there but I did get a nickel signal. Unless they are really good signals, I usually skip nickel signals when coin shooting but I was bored enough to check it out.

To my surprise, I pulled this old lead soldier! Does anyone know roughly when it's from? I've seen ScubaDetector post some similar figures so maybe he can shed some light.

I'm on a wheatie hunt big time. I have to get one (my first) on the board soon! It's beginning to drive me nuts! Cool soldier--no idea how old, but very cool. Congrats! :icon_thumright:

You've got 2 silver coins and no wheats? That's uncommon! My ratio is 16 silvers to 85 Wheats this year.
 

I surface found a Native American in the same pose years ago!
Still not sure how old he is.
Thats awesome
Congrats!
