2010: 50th Silver... Wheats > 200 Clad = 100$ Plus...

[FooserPaul]

Hello all!

2010 has been good to me... I hit my 50th Silver for the year today... went over 200 wheats yesterday and clad total exceeds 100$ now...

May 8th...

I went back to the site that yielded the 1810 Half Cent... I was working hard to find 2 silver to hit 50 for the year... not it wasn't to be on this day...

Nice 1949 Dog Tag...

This was a neat find.... 1940s Ralston Permium... that supported the Tom Mix Radio Show...

No silver... bit there were 14 wheat pennins in the mix... I now need 4 wheat pennies to hit 200 and still 2 silver to hit 50...

May 9th:

Its Mothers day... and I did not get out unilt later in the afternoon for 2 hours... I've worked this site over pretty well... but with the 6X8 SEF on... I am working very slowly... digging lots of iffy signals....

I nabbed 3 wheats pretty quickly... then came a nice solid 12/45 @ 6"...

1926 Mercury Dime... Pretty beat up...

Then and signal right next to it was Wheat # 200... and 2 more for good measure after that...

May 10th... After work I wanted to rest... but was determined to hit 50!

I hit a new park to me... my 4th target was... Silver #50! 1945 Mercury Dime...

I found 3 wheat pennies there...

I did not stay very long as I had accomplished my objective... find one silver

50 Silver: 7 Washington Quarters, 16 Mercury Dimes, 22 Roosevelt Dimes, 2 Barber Dimes, 1 Jefferson Silver Nickle, 1 Silver 1867 Silber Groshen, 1 1873 Silver 20 Pfennig
Silver Jewelry: 6 Pieces
Wheat Pennies: 205
Total Clad: 1355 - 100.74$

Thank you for looking!
HH All!
