Hi all
I've been hunting along these old sidewalks a few times now, going slow and listening to each signal,picked up a 1943 Portuguesa silver coin,it's got 2$50 on the back. And a 1940 wheat. It was a nice little hunt 10 feet from my car :teasing: That is my 4th silver and 8th wheat this month.
Thanx for looking!
