Hi all,
I got the opportunity to hunt an old yard in trade for mowing it, so I spent a little while yesterday and today there..again the silver eluded me, but I had a ball getting the chance to hunt "unexplored" terrain
Before I get to the finds, I made it my goal earlier this summer to hit the 16,000 coin mark by year's end..as luck would have it I hit the big 16K yesterday while hunting this old yard. My total so far in less than 22 months is 16,023 coins
Now to the finds. I wish I had something incredible to share with you, but with the yards in this particular neighborhood, it's either pretty typical stuff, or a motherlode of silver and wheaties. This time out was typical, but I did find a few oldies.
The most intriguing find was some kind of an old compact. I say intriguing because I didn't know what it was at first. If anyone knows how old it may be, please chime in..to me it looks like something from the 40s-50s. I also found an old Timex watch (the kind you wind up), an old emblem (maybe from Girl Scouts?), a handful of clad and a couple of wheats (1944-P and 1950-D). No silver today, but an enjoyable outing nonetheless!
Hope everyone finds a little treasure this week.
