117 wheats at Iceberg - new personal best

Took another swing at the Iceberg today with Dan, Mirage, and Zoso. I didn't get any silver but at least I broke my wheat penny record by 2 (got 117 today). Also found a neat 1954 South African coin and 3 marbles. If you didn't see Mirage's IHs yet...it took over 1,500 wheats to finally turn up one of those here. And today he finds not 1 but 2! I'm glad...it was kinda starting to get scary, lol. Another glorious, pleasant day for January today. HH all!

I only cleaned the teens through 30s dates. Takes a lot of work to do em all.

The silver looks great in the pic. 8) The buckles are cool too. Hope the tooth heals soon.

With all the wheat pennies you guys have found, have any of you found any key or semi-key dates. I found a 1915-s and a 1910-s at a park long time ago. Just wondering? As alaways you guys have one hot spot there. keep swingin there! Thanks for your time. Coinman66

Re: Iceberg gives up my first silver of 2007

Hey Dan, I went through the abcess thing a few months ago, then had a root canal. I had to bear with the abcess for a few days until the antibiotics kicked in. The dentist told me to take 2 ibuprofens and 2 tylenols at the same time, to get basically the same effect as (I think it was coedine?). Anyway, I was skeptical and she wrote me a prescription for pain meds in case I needed them. I tried the ibuprofen/tylenol and it worked! I never had to take the prescription. It seemed to work a good while, but if I waited for the tooth to show signs of hurting before taking the next dose, it would hurt a while before the dose kicked in. I learned to take it every 4 hours whether I felt the tooth or not. That darn abcess was miserable pain like I've never felt before. Maybe this will help? I'm no doctor, but I know I'd have tried nearly anything to relieve the pain. I nearly messed up my gums with cotton balls soaked with Crown Royal before I got to the dentist (sounds funny, but it worked waaaaay better than oragel). After the pain from the tooth was gone, I had sore peeling gums to deal with.

Nice Canadian Penny! lol

-Mike

As stated, that is not a Canadian penny. It is South African. The Queen is on all of the coinage from the Commonwealth.
