    July 4th Hunt / Had a Good Day!

    Noah and I decided to go out for a few hours today. we only had to drive about 30 minutes to a town we hit pretty hard a few years ago.
    The day started out great, at the first house I dug 5 silvers and a sterling St.Christopher medal.
    After that, we hit a few more houses with nothing to show for it except a few wheats. Near the end of the day, I dug a wheat spill, a holed 1919S wheat and what I believe is a 43 steel cent. I also dug 2 Chinese coins at that house. The last house of the day I scored 2 Indians, an 1867 and a 1883. I also came home with 19 wheat cents.
    Thanks for looking!

    Wowser Don, you did great! Kind of reminds me of that yard where we got 17 Chinese coins! I've never seen a holed wheat cent before! Definitely a steel cent. Was it in a spill? I'm glad you discovered your coil was bad instead of your mojo. Are you going to send in your coil for repairs? Happy digging, Dave.

    So many targets!! Have you figured out how old those Chinese coins are? Maybe 1919 was the year they built their house and hung that cent above the door. Nice diggin, Don!

    Helps getting into a couple great yards instead of the duds we've had lately. And it's nice you scored the barber quarter outta the front where I just was. THinking I need to get a new coil too.
