    Finally Some COOL Weather and Look What Happened!!!!

    Saturday morning, Tom (Hiluxyota) & Tim (Noah) and I took a rod trip to do some door knocking in a town we've never been to before. As soon as we got there we were excited at all the OLD houses we saw. We hit homes from the 1860s to the 1890s.
    (old for this area). We all did well, but I apparently had the horse shoe up my ### Saturday!!!

    My first coin of the day was a 1946-D Walker. Somewhere in the middle of the day I pulled the 1856 Seated quarter and my last coin of the day was the 1848 Large Cent. I couldn't have scripted a better day!! Oh yeah, I also dug seven wheats!
    Thanks for looking!

    I knew I should've called you Friday.
    You killed it Don! A large is a rare dig around here. At least it is for me. So is a seated quarter! But to get one of each is a ultra rare occasion!
    Congrats!

    That was a DREAM HUNT! Wow, it's hard to pick which is my favorite but it's probably the 1856 Seated Quarter. That is a rare find here in the Midwest.

    The Large Cent is in wonderful shape! I think a toothpick might remove even more of that crusty soil.

    I really like the early 1865 Indian Head too. Ones before 1879 rarely turn up. Very nice!

    And your Half Dollar streak continues in earnest! WOW!

    Congrats on the mind-blowing hunt, Don! That is one you will always remember!

    Lifetime totals:
    9 Large Cents, 415 Indian Heads, 2 Two Cent Pieces, 1 Capped Bust Half Dime, 1 Seated Half Dime, 10 Shield Nickels, 68 V Nickels, 124 Buffalo Nickels, 31 War Nickels, 16 Seated Dimes, 131 Barber Dimes, 405 Mercury Dimes, 249 Rosies, 4 Seated Quarters, 18 Barber Quarters, 19 Standing Liberty Quarters, 89 Silver Washingtons, 1 Seated Half, 3 Barber Halves, 16 Walking Liberty Halves

    WTG Don,

    Always amazed at the number of 1/2 dollars you pull up....... that seated quarter and the largie are great finds for your area of the country. So you are able to get all these goodies when the weather turned COOL, I can imagine what you'll get when the weather turns FREEZING....
