Got out with Rob again today. We went to a park here in town that they are tearing up. This is the at park that I went to on Thanksgiving day and when we arrived I noticed that some of the dirt had been moved...lucky me. I got the 1956 Wash there. We then went to another park and I got a wheat there. We decided to do some door knocking, weren't really doing that good at it, so Rob went to this this house that has a Real Estate firm in it. Rob knows the people so we got the okay. This house is from the 1730's. I managed the 1906 IH and another wheat. Also got the Oldsmobile emblem there....can anyone date this item for me:huh:
We then went out door knocking again and we ended up back at a house that we had done before. Managed another two wheats. All the wheats arre fromt he 40's and 50's.

Thanks for reading and keep digging. Isn't this December weather great.........

Someday I'll post pics :thinkingabout:

It was a great day of Hunting...while Al killed me on silver....again.....by getting the only silver of the day.

I did manage (1) 1862 indian, (1) what I believe to be an EXTREMELY worn LC (no details left at all, but I think I can see a bit of the outline of one part of a wreath), 12 wheats, an old bottle, and clad, and some other misc.

It was a great day, even though I think we hit a new record for the number of NOs that we got >:#

:dontknow: :dontknow: :dontknow: I found this posted on an American Automobile forum in reply to the same question :grin:

It looks like a center cap for the wire wheel covers in the 80's. Probably for a 88 model

A silver quarter a IH and a few wheats constitutes for a good day in my book! :yes: :clapping:
Congrats :grin:

But there's only one way to find out :yes:......you just gotta ask thumbsup01

I'm glad that someone has the courage to door knock, but I'm not sure that I will overcome my shyness enough to knock on a stranger''s door. Just not enough confidence in my verbal skills, I guess.

But it looks like it paid off nicely for you, Al! It's always fun finding silver quarters and Indian Heads! Way to get some more keepers before winter sets in! <:
