4 hour hunt and I enjoyed every minute of it. My work cut back to 50 hour week with optional 60hour week. I hope they mean it. They are always changing their minds. Don't have much time for honey do list and MD'ing.
First place I went was a pile of top soil from 200 homes they demo-ed. one wheat(191
and a compact. Lots of trash.
Second place was a small strip of dirt from the edge of a road they are building through the 200 demo-ed homes. Seated dime (1891), B&O, iron token and another compact. A cane tip and salt shaker cap.
Third place was an old park becoming grown over with trees. 1917 dime, a 30 coin spill (that's a record for me) all with in 4" of each other. They are all newer coins, 1991 and older. A gas valve and a harmonica reed. It wouldn't be one of my MD'ing trips without them. Also another compact and two more wheats. Both were 1941.
