    Semi key Wheatie and some other goodies

    Hit an Old Courthouse that has been pretty good this year and found a steep side hill I don't think I ever hunted, at least not hard. I ended up with a couple silver, 2 Indians a Buffalo and 2 wheats one of which was a 1911 S that cleaned up nice. I don't find many semi-key coins so that was a nice bonus on a good hunt. Wisconsin Digger Included some before and after cleaning pics

    I've never done an old courthouse, but here in Vermont a lot of these places are off limits. Congrats on finding an out of the way part of the property. Any older "s" wheaties are really nice finds.
