    Columbus Day finds

    Out for a few hours dancing between the raindrops at a favorite site. 08 Barber, 26D, 39, 47S, 50S wheats. Interesting the colors on the pennies.

    Yeah, those barber quarters don't show up much. Four wheats, four colors. I can understand why that's a favorite site, keep it up!

    Pennies found in same grassy area within 50 feet of each other. Yet each with a distinct coloration. Probably a number of environmental factors.
