    finally! a 3 silver day for this old cajun

    hit a small yard at a 50's house today. got 3 wheats, a decent bit of clad, and of course the usual trash and junk. oh...and 2 rosies and a GW. the rosies are a 46, and a 49. the GW is a 54. not too bad for such a small yard. but sheesh...the nails were everywhere!
    thanks for looking and hh!

    Nice hunt Hook...three silvers and enough nails to build a new house Sometimes the newer houses produce more silver than the old ones do.
