    Silver, Wheats, Buff, Brooch

    I hit a park today as I had no work but have to work tomorrow. I was able to add one more silver to the total, a 1939 merc and 5 more wheats. The buff looks to be either a 1921 or a 1927. The brooch looks to be brass with a nice design on it. Thanks for reading

    After work hunt - More Silver

    Had to work today so I had a small window to hunt. Only hunted about 1 1/2 hours. The very first target was the SLQ (dateless) but I'm still smiling. The next target was a wheat then it slowed down. The ring is marked Sterling and the marble was an eyeball find. Both of the wheats are from the...
