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

crazyjarhead · Jan 4, 2009

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

Great looking finds Ron, Love the half dime. I found one last year also. They sure are small.

The valve stem probably came from a car in the 1920's. The model T's had a pressure gauge stem cover.

Nice pics and finds! No pics of the wheaties necessary unless you found a few 1943 coppers, LOL. I enjoy your posts so keep it up home boy, froze hard here. HH, Mike

Great pics. I also stay away from the bull, living, waste or talk.

Ron,
I guess I owe you an apology. I didn't see your half dime when I was scanning your photos before. That baby is very nice. You would be surprised how many have not found wheaties. And, I just like pictures...lol

I hadn't put it up yet because I had to take another picture of it and all of that stuff. I didn't know if you were talking about my wheat finds or what. I do take pics of them once in a while but I couldn't see taking 16 pictures of wheats and posting them. Now that half dime was taken back in June, not yesterday. Steve just had to find something I missed. Like above my avatar says, "No place is ever hunted out." But I could say that I didn't hunt that side and back very well, just the front. Thats where he found 2 more deep wheats I missed.
