Hello All,
Yesterday I went to a neighboring town to help with a chili supper. Got there too late and all the set up was done. Earlier this year I had secured permission for a older corner house in the same town. At the time I was hunting an adjoining construction site; too dry and grass too long to do the yard then. So I gave it a try, glad I did; we have a pile of snow on the ground today and no real warm up in the forecast.
Normally I wouldn't post a meager day like yesterday, but it may be the last for several months.

I found what must have been a roll of pennies that was dropped, they were all in a row, still a PITA to get them all. Mainly Zincolns, wish they had been lost a hundred years or more ago.

Two silver, Barber is a 1892-O. That is a new date for my coin books. Very seldom do I fill a hole these days, or even up-grade condition on a previously found date/mint. All my coin collection is found coins, got a few albums getting pretty full, but doubt I'm going to complete any of them before heading to the undetected honey hole in the sky. Is there a separate heaven for the Metal Detecting community? Merc is a high grade 1927. Dozen wheats, razor with a bakelite handle, guessing 1940s?? And an ornate compact, may be silver. Will research.
Hoping for a late fall warm up...
