Yesterday, I spotted two old yards that had been partly excavated beside a tire shop. It appeared to have been done for the shop's benefit, so I stopped inside to ask permission to search the excavation. This came easily, so today I went over to begin the hunt. It was worth every bit of time and effort I put into it! This place turned out to be a wheatie farm, yielding twenty-five in all, with ten in the teens, 20's and 30's. I found two Mercs (42 and 43), a 52 Roosevelt and a weak date buffalo nickel as well. The best find of the day, after ringing as a half dollar, was a nice 32 Washington quarter. Unfortunately, none of my little D or S friends appeared on the back, but I'm not complaining. Rounded the day off with about 70 cents in clad, so it was a "tiring" afternoon.

The window of opportunity on sites like that can open and close very quick. Looks like you made the most of it and it paid off!!

Most outstanding day for you!! A new silver mine! I wonder if you get a tire plugged there they'll let you hunt when you want.

Well worth some sore arms and legs and nothing a good night's sleep won't fix. You'll be ready to hit it again tomorrow! ;D Congrats on the silver. I'm still looking for my first Merc.

Mirage, the wheats are typical for my area: dirty, a little corroded, seldom anything you'd want to add to a collection. Indians, by contrast, often come out in much better shape; I wonder if it is a different alloy.
 

Nice finds Halfdime. Gotta love the silver! You never hurt while you digging good finds. It's the
morning after when you pay the piper. LOL Just take an aspirin and call me in the morning. LOL
