Labor Day/Night Hunt

[RyanOShea]

Holly and I went for a hunt tonight. I dug a 1950 S Rosie, 1912 Wheat, 1930 Wheat, 1942 Wheat. A dirt coated silver looking old baby spoon and an old button. Holly dug a 1947 S Rosie dime, a 52 Wheat and a 40 something wheat. An unfired 9mm bullet. And we dug plenty of clad.

Wow dude! You two are doing GREAT!!! Is your 1912- Wheat a "D" mint? I've dug 2 1912-D Wheats in the last week! Hopefully your's is a "S" mint!

Thanks! Having fun our first year at this.
Its plain. I was hoping it was an S. Cuz it was in pretty good shape. But, oh well. Still. Good year for a wheat. Holly still has me beat with the 1909 VDB. We did just one easement extending down the block. And found lots of goodies. I know there is still more there too. A lady came out and asked us, " is there stuff worth digging in there"? And I said, "oh yeah. But there is far more in your yard"! To bad it was just after dark. Or I would have asked to do the yard. The house was from the 20's. So, I will go back in a few days to that area. Im always surprised how interested people are in what we are doing. Anyway now that the weather is cooling down I can hunt more during the day time. But the rain is coming!! Which is good for targets! But bad for filming. Plus my rain cover for the Minelab few out of the top of the car on the freeway. Sucks! The roof box didn't latch shut right. And I dont really wanna spend 20 bucks on a brand new one. So, need to find another used one.

Thanks. Not dissing those war nickels. I love em. Holly has just been really wanting to find an old 90% silver coin. And since her Minelab 305 is not working (needs to be sent in) shes been using my Explorer. And in the two times shes used it. Shes scored silver both times out with it. A silver ring, and a silver 47 Rosie. And her wheat cent count has jumped up. Im totally stoked for her.
