Where's the Silvers? 3 Indians, 28 Wheats, Plenty of Clad and Relics
I took Friday off to get a hunt in. The in-laws are up and we are celebrating Thanksgiving today (I was told, no hunting this weekend).
The kids will be here soon so I thought I'd get my post up. I went to a new permission I secured last Saturday. It's on the 1874 map.

I have only hunted about 1/8th of the property in 4 hours going low and slow. The area I hunted is highlighted yellow on the pic below.

When I asked Shawn for the permission, he asked what I hoped to find. I stated that I was looking for pre 1965 silver coins, would more than likely pull an IHP and hopefully an old pocket watch. In the 1st hour of the hunt I dug up my 1st pocket watch frame, and thought to myself, I bet I'll get a harmonica reed on this property. BAM, the very next plug had (you guessed it) a harmonica reed. I pulled 3 IHPs, (1887, 94, & 98), 28 wheats (1916-58D) and an old local trade token "F.E. RICHMOND - CIGARS & POOL- WELLINGTON. There has got to be some silvers in the ground somewhere. You know the old saying "Where there's wheat there's silver", I am hoping it is true for this site. I need 3 more silvers to hit my season goal of 50.
