View Full Version : Windy But Great
Got out for some good hunting this morning. It is insanely windy here today - gusts up to 60 mph. Had to chase my hat at one point and almost got knocked over a bunch of times. I hit some tot lots and then the dirt a bit. Scored 139 coins worth $11.99 including a Susan B dollar and one wheat penny (the Merc in the pic is from yesterday). I also landed two silver rings - a sweet vintage looking Cub Scout ring, and a TINY ring with a small piece of what looks like malachite. I got two other bits of silver too - a small loop that reads daughter and another which reads mother - the former fits inside the latter. Lots of the usual other trinkets & junk too... I must confess I get a kick out of the stuff kids drop. It was a great morning out.
Happy Hunting!

Some nice finds there Z. It is really weird what is found in tot lots :confused: But that's OK as long as they keep losing it lol Some nice rings there and I agree, it looks like Malachite. I love that stone :yes: Did you get wind burned? lol Or sandbalsted if there is any loose dirt around ;)

Congrats on beating out the wind!!! It was blowing like crazy here in the Binghamton area, had a soccer game with my son and it was fun watching it kill or fly the ball around!!

That is a very nice group of finds, Z. I do like the way you present them in that photo. It's a great snapshot.
