    To Nice to Sit at Home - -IH and Wheats

    Rob has some out of town company for the weekend so I hit the dirt solo today. Went to another park in another town, the ground was nice and soft. Only managed to get some clad so I moved to another park.

    First good coin was the IH -1902 then it got real quite for quite awhile. Finally managed to eek out 2 wheats, one a 1917 and the other a 1937. Yes, I had the Silverless Drive Home of Shame.

    We are expecting a big freeze up here in the Northeast. This may have been the last hunt for awhile.

    Thanks for reading.

    It certainly was a nice day today but I wasn't able to get out. Glad you managed to get out there and Any IH is a good find in my book.

    Nice finds Those Indian Heads are my favorite coins to find-not that I find alot of them. Congrats on the IH & wheaties and I'm sorry to hear that you had the silverless drive home of shame, but I think the IH makes up for that though

    Definitely better than sitting at home.
    Any time you can get your coil over a couple of Wheat cents is a good day. An IH...

    Dude, in my book a IH is as good as any silver. So far I have found 2 total IH's. Don't run across them much here. Congrats on some nice finds.
