So, I thought Id add to my clad again today.

So, I thought I'd add to my clad again today.

Didn't feel like traveling far though. So, the mansion, the wheat toast farm and the penny ante fields were all out.
I chose the close school yard where my research showed that the ball fields weren't always in the places they are now. I've done well here, especially after the research! Always catch a surprise or two as this was also a VERY old farm once.

Anyway, here's the overall:




Who was it that found a spear head that would bring one of these down?



This little fellow was watching how I dug/filled my holes. (Probably one of Sheriff Gumby's deputies. )



Clad galore!



A 1938 Wheat, lightly toasted.

Ah, and about those "surprises"?

I got this PERFECT "quarter" hit at about 7-8 inches deep. (86-87 on the AT-Pro).
As you can see, I was paying particular attention to those today.

I dug down, scooped out, twice, three times. And there she was, lying on the pile right beside me.



It's been through a tough life. Up to 100 plus years buried under a VERY large and OLD pine tree.

But, the scratches were there before I saved her.

Man! The boy who lost that, back then, must've seen the inside of the woodshed!

Thanks for peeking!

HH!

Yeah. Just one coin in 5.5 hours of digging can change a blah, plain, normal day into a wonderful experience and memory. At least, it still does for me.

Knew it was silver, saw the edge, Washington?, Standing Liberty? No, a BARBER!!! Happy dance!!

Thanks
HH!

Congrats on the great day there! Still trying for some or any silver again, got a Wheat penny today and thought it was good to find one after so long.

What I've found to work for me is to not "try" for silver. Every time you open the hole you hope and when it's not, the frustration level goes up. Once it goes up enough, your swing changes. It gets a bit more sharp, lifts a little more on the ends and the zig zag gets worse. Causing one to start going around silver instead of over them.

Seriously though, don't try for silver. Go out for a nice walk, enjoy the day, see what the good Lord has out there for you to find. The silver? It will come of it's own as long as you're paying attention. If you are hearing pennies, you are paying enough attention.

Thanks for the kind words!

HH!
