    Humdrum Saturday

    1. Didn’t find much but was happy to get a surprise with a V nickel. The silver spoon was found in a yard that was yielding nothing but melted aluminum from a burn pit so that was a happy surprise as well.

    Well, not your best day ever but at least you didn't get skunked! Looks like a nail was lying on that spoon handle. You should shine it up and then eat your favorite cereal with it!

    Ya there were a lot of nails in that yard, originally the back yard to the Victorian home. Not far was a burn pit. Everywhere we go seem almost nothing left, even fewer wheat pennies.

    The V was under a pine tree, kinda out of reach of Don's coil.

    I really hate when sites have aluminum siding scraps or some such garbage everywhere. How does that V look? The pic is blurry... or my eyes are but it seems to have some good detail. Silver too!
    That spoon must have a company name on the bottom...no? Congrats, Noah!

    I hate aluminum trash too, and usually retreat when I start finding it. The spoon was the only good find there.
