These people must have been poor, no silver but lots of Wheaties

[crazyjarhead]

Myself and Steve (Daytondigger) got together today and headed back to the new place that I acquired on Sat. I was able to pull 6 more Wheaties but no silver. I won't tell you what he found as he will post later. Found a few relics including the best model A or T tire cap I have ever seen. It still has some shine to it and it was 5 inches underground. We hunted a few hours dodging rain showers and fog, but didn't get too close to the farmers fence as this bull kept giving us the eye . Actually there was several bulls so I stayed away from the back yard. I don't take chances with bulls We left there and went back to one of my hunted out spots and wouldn't you guess I got smoked. He dug things I had missed....... Imagine that By this time the warm front had passed by and that nasty cold wind kicked in and ran us home ...... but not after a good find by Steve You will have to wait for his story. Ended the day with 6 Wheaties, 1919,1923,1936,1945,1946,1951D, some 60's clad pennies, a 3006 Springfield shell casing, a tire stem and a whatsit(square copper thingy) and a cap that says National distilleries on it with 2 holes?? The last pictures of the other house is the one I hunted back in the spring and summer. Remember it Neil (Kimsdad) Thanks again for looking, Ron

I found 15 Wheaties yesterday and you didn't ask, "where's the pictures of the coins". I never take pictures of Wheaties unless they are special. You mean I have to take 21 pictures of my wheaties and download and post them

Thanks for having me up again Ron, It was a tough hunt with the weather and the abundant lack of silver. The first home was that of a penny farmer , the park has potential with a wheat and a 59 memorial and the second home had already given you a half dime previously. That's something I've never dug in over 25 years. I found two deep wheats at that place near where you found your half dime. The first wheat was over 6 inches deep and I imagined it being a flying eagle or an early Indian . After that strong cold wind moved in I was working my way back to the car. I had one last target before calling it quits and finally I saw that nice silver dime in that black soil. I took a pic before I even looked to see what it was, a seated?, a Barber?....nah, a 45 merc.

Thanks Steve for giving up your time and driving 1 hour each way for some "Chump Change" I really enjoyed it and hope to do it again......... if winter stays on vacation . Goes to show you...... no place is hunted out. I hunted that place quite a bit this past year and you pulled out some deepies and I got skunked

 

[t-bucket]

Congrats on a great hunt !!! WTG on the wheats and super on the half dime

No. It was dead quiet this morning and my Ace was singing a song for him and he was getting irritated at me. I'm glad I wasn't wearing red

Thanks Bryce and juju

I hear you. I am empathetic to your suffering.

I have been in places where the Wheaties were as the leaves of the trees. And there was no silver at all. Rejoice that you have put in another day satisfying the cruel realities of statistics.

Perhaps next time!

Thanks. Change your avatar as the New Years party is over

Thanks LB. I'll pass on that. Them cows are big. I saw one blck angus yesterday and he was watching over his family I learned at a young age to respect bulls......... believe me. I've been chased up in apple trees for hours waiting for the cows to go away.

Thanks Wlly. I was never expecting to find something like that. Had no idea what a half dime was. Small coin and hard to find in the hole I was digging. I almost covered the hole back and moved on
