The problem with finding an 1829 half dime at a site just three days ago is that you expect to find something to match it the next time out. Unfortunately, that's not what happened today :P. It wasn't bad, by any stretch; in fact, today's hunt would rank pretty high on my list of best days hunting. A trio of Indian head pennies (1883, 89 and 1904), a pair of wheats (35 and 38), a 44 Merc and a 52 Washington headlined today's catch. By contrast, and this is where the "spoiled" part comes in, this was a letdown; we all should have such heartache in our life! ;D

I'll trade you. I found $2.58 in clad today. What's really amazing is that none of the coins were older than 1977.
