Thread: Buttload of clad and 2 ladies =)

    Buttload of clad and 2 ladies =)

    Put in about 5 1/2 hours today between a park and some empty lots in an older community. (With permission of course)

    Other than the clad there wasn't many interesting finds except the old pocket watch bezel.

    Was happy to pull the 1936 and 1939-D mercs

    No wheats today. A nice breather from digging a silver to every 8 wheats or so this year.

    And how can I forget! The first merc was a spill in with a 1961-D memorial (the crusty one beside the watch bezel on the right)

    Silver to wheats is 19/83 right now. So actually the ratio is much better than I estimated. I guess that's because my silver finds seem to come in clumps. xD

    That's a nice haul! I love the dimes. That unit measurement used in the title...is that cubic, metric, or American standard?
