    Another AWESOME Saturday Hunt!!!

    Saturday, Alec, Noah and I went out for an all day hunt. We started in a corn field that was the site of a fair grounds from 1851 -1881. I dug one coin there, an 1876 seated dime. After that we hit a few houses door knocking. I won't explain every find, but there were a couple cool finds I will mention. First, I dug my second seated half, an 1875-S counter stamped "F.K.Fuller" from a front yard of an 1890s house. Second, I dug a spill, a 52 Washington and 3 wheats, including a 43 steel cent. Pretty cool!
    Here are my finds for the day:

    I'm blown away Don! So many amazing finds and all in one day! You are killing on seated coins this year. All you need is the half dime to have the complete set for the year. Al's nickel is good and has a legible date. That's rare for dug shield nickels. The last pic, is that a CW store card? Thanks for sharing and HH, Dave.
