Finally found a couple hours to swing the coil.....

[Digger]

Hit an old bean field yesterday, finding the Barber dime and the nasty old Shield Nickel. Nicekls always come out of the ground reddish, around here. So I tried the salt/vinegar rinse and wasn't impressed. Guess it was just too far gone. Anyway, the rest of the stuff came from a vacant lot here in town that I hunted today. Pennies were 1917, 1925, 1928, 1935, 1938 and 1950. And it was a pleasant surprise to pull out the 42 Walking Liberty.

Nice finds Digger, I got a couple of worn bent ones at a school yesterday, using the stock coil on the 70.
My old camera doesn't do good on close-ups, the quarter's date is 1908, can't read the last digit on the rosie and the other is a clad quarter that lost a battle with the mower, I guess.

While visiting just a couple days ago you mentioned you hadn't found a half for quite a while. Well let's start talking how long it's been for GOLD. Seems like there could be a mental thing going on here. You think real hard and maybe Wednesday when we get out we just might pull out a goldie. Think????

the Barber dime and Shield nickel are pretty old. But the others just can't be since I remember them still being in circulation! HH Randy
