    Firsts At The Old Farm House

    Hi All! Went back to the old farm house Friday morning. And had a ball! After the great Silver success of the day before (7 Silvers). I couldn't wait to get back! Started working a new area of the yard. Gridding as best I could. Trying not to miss any spots. Found 5 more Silvers that morning. <: Including my first SLQ. A 1925. Boy that was pretty! I also found a cool Junior Police badge. Thought it was real at first, because of the weight. Until I got it home and cleaned it. Also in my hunt. I found my first Crotal Bell. I guess thats what it is. When I cleaned the dirt out of it. It still crotaled lol! I found what I guess is an old turtle door knocker. Everything I have found so far at this farm. Has been no deeper then about 4 or 5 inches. I'm surprised at how shallow they all were. I took a break about 10:00 am. And headed home for my Coney Coffee break, and some lunch. Being not as hot that day. I wanted to go back and hunt somemore. To make a long story short. I ended up finding 2 more silvers that afternoon. Which gave me another 7 silver day happydance02! Which brings my total for the year to 81. My coins were the 1925 SLQ, a 1952 Washington, 3 Mercs 1943, and 2 45's, 2 rosies 1953-D,54. Also came home with 31 Wheatbacks. Oh yea, 2 clad dimes, and a nickle. Thanks for lookin! HH!
