im starting to dislike wheats
- Thread starter coilswinger

I know how you feel - keep swingin' I have a park I was hitting last fall - tons of wheats and IHs but the silver is fairly scarce.
So far 94 wheats (56 of them pre-1920) and 64 IHs. With all that came one barber quarter, 4 barber dimes, and 5 mercs. Funny, no silver rosies yet.
I've only basically hit about 30% of the park so it will be a "go-to" place to finish up an initial sweep, then a slower overall sweep. Should take quite a while.
Keep looking, there has to be silver there.

At this point I'd be happy to dig in un-frozen ground. And if I pulled out nothing but zinc memorials and foil gum wrappers, that would just be OK. I would love to be pulling wheats every day and would never tire of it.

That is exactly what I am dealing with. Once the nighttime low temps quit hanging in the single digits, things will improve. I have at least a dozen signals in my yard I can't dig yet.
Over the last week, I've picked up 45 wheaties; most all of them from the 40's and 50's. Silver was pretty thin and what little was found was mostly newer; 2 washington quarters, 2 rosies, 1 worn merc; a 9:1 ratio.
Have to admit I was disappointed in the ratio. The last year, I've been in the 4:1 range, mostly due to hunting older areas already gone over dozens of times. This last week, it has been newer houses, but, they appears to have never been hunted.
Good luck,
Rich
