Alec and i went out for a little while Sunday morning. The first house was the same house that I got the Two Center the day before. I didn't find anything more there, but Alec was able to pull out a 1920 merc. We hit one more house on the way home. Once again, I didn't find anything but a small amount of clad, but Alec found himself a very nice 1903 Indian and a 1910 Wheat.
Wednesday, I stopped after work and got permission at a 1902 home. I hunted for about an hour and was able to pull a No-Date SLQ and a 1964 Rosie.
Thursday, I hit another house in the same neighborhood, ( Everyone is saying YES, I love it!) My first good target was an 8 cent Merc,. ( A lawn mower must have clipped 2 Cents off the bottom ) LOL. About 30 minutes later, I got a classic 12-13 at about 7 inches. I pulled out a very worn V Nickel. When I got home I cleaned it in Worcestershire sauce and was able to tell that it was an 1887.
I think tomorrow I'll hit one more.

Awesome coins! It's always fun when everyone is saying yes! I once found a 7 cent merc!

It almost looks like the SLQ wants to give up a date. Nice haul as usual. WD

The lawnmower won against that Merc. Nice score on the silvers. That SLQ plays with ya. It almost looks like you could get a date from the wear there....but just taunting ya. Many worn spots but yet you can see the words in the shield.. odd.
