Two finds for the day - Nothing great, but I'm happy with them

Got out for a bit today to hunt with Lowbatts, Mayo, Watercolor, and Skates. Got there late and missed Mark's forced march. ;D Swinging on the way to catch up to them, I picked up an Indian near a trail.

Then in the middle of the woods, a nice quarter signal that actually turned out to be a quarter. :)

I guess I'll stay here a while... I picked up about eight more wheats and met one of the locals. When I got down to dig one of the wheats, this little guy jumped out of the grass right where I was digging. Nice camo job!

The George was a 1942 S, which had it been in EF-40 would have been worth $9. Looks like it's shy of F-12. :-\

All in all, it was a good day with a couple of nice finds. I did manage to meet up with the guys on their return trip, but after another half hour, I was beat and went home to fix the garage door opener. Got that done too, so it was a productive day! :thumbsup:

Thanks for checking out my post and HH!

Shinie! Yeah!

Crossing the fence a turkey vulture flew the coup right overhead on the roof of the dive shack. That was a rude critter surprise!

Nice detail on those Neil!
Even if it were in toasted condition, the George is worth $7.81 today. :thumbsup:

Nice pair you got there. I'm surprised more of those washingtons don't come out more often. Licking frogs is good luck I've heard.

I'd be happy with those too/two. Last year I dug up a frog late in the season. He came out of the hole with the plug! Glad I didn't gouge him with the shovel.
