Yesterday I scored my second liberty cap large cent (its quite abused, but better than my first), as well as my first dime trifecta. I expected some coppers out of this site I'd been working the past couple of weeks, and finally got some, on my final hunt there. Sadly, the second one is unidentifiable.
(The buff I got was actually one of the sweetest coins, even tho it is so abused, as it was a big morale booster. This site has lots and lots of dead, and I had gone 45 minutes without a single coin of any kind, and was getting near the edge, and the buff told me there were more old coins in that direction, and so I kept at it and got 2 of the silvers soon after).
Yesterday's hunt put me at silver #499 for the year, and I got out early this morning to a different site to try to knock out #500. I was a little worried about this site, as I don't have much time at it, but not 10 minutes into the hunt I had a merc at six inches <: <: <: for #500. Also scored 2 more silver dimes before having to get back to work.
HH everyone, and have a nice Christmas.
