I went out this morning with my friend Tim to hit a few parks. At first the ground was pretty soggy, not that it mattered because we found absolutely nothing in the parks. About 2 oclock we decided that the ground dried enough to try a little door knocking. Our first couple of houses said no. The third house changed everything, we got a very polite yes and we started hitting coins in the first five minutes.
My first was a 1927 Buff. Then I dug my first silver of 2017, a 1946 Rosie. About 20 minutes later I dug a 1944 merc and a 1942-P war Nickel about 6 inches away from each other. Before we called it a day, I dug 1941 Washington. I pulled 10 wheats out as well.
That one house turned a soggy no finds day into an awesome day.

Way to salvage the day, Don! Congrats on the early season silver and the coal company scatter tag.

I got out too, it was sunny and 67 degrees here yesterday. I even saw a snake crawling across the ground. I only found a couple of wheaties and some clad.

Good job on your finds!

Good finds Don. I bet that coal tag rang up a perfect 12-12! Best wishes and HH, Dave.
