Pre-game silver and wheat cents

[jkress]

We got out for a little while before the game. Headed down to the construction site where the city is removing about 10 old houses from a couple of city blocks.

Have to admit... I was getting a little frustrated at the abundance of wheats and lack of silver from the spots I was running my coil over. :embarrassed: I did get lucky enough with the Merc plus this charm stamped sterling. :happydance01:

My first 'Mercury saving hunt' of the year. lol

It was fun, lots of targets to dig. Plus a few silver ones too.



Can't ask for much more than that! \:hammer: |:confused:) :clapping:

How about a few more Mercs, a silver quarter and some IH's. lol :rolleyes:



good hunt Joe

For February... heck yes! :happydance01:



Looks like a great spot you have there, WTG on the great loot!!

It's snow and frost free... so yep :yes: in February it does qualify as a great spot. :)



great to be able to hunt this time of the year can it get better

:yes:



Joe, that silver is there, you just have to put your coil over it.

That's what I kept thinking. Between the two of us we pulled up 25 wheat cents. Should be a few more shiny ones there. :dontknow:



How about that game :cheering: I'm still re-cuperating from our Super Bowl Party!

lol Hope you feel better. :) I was happy with the game until the end of the 4th quarter. crying01



Do you use a scanner or camera to take your pictures?

I use a camera and a simple bounce flash off the ceiling/wall for my shots. Works good enough but I'm thinking about getting a macro lens just for my coin pictures. lol



Gotta love those Merc Saving Hunts! Better than a SDHOS any day! lol

Absolutely! :yes: I'm sure this is one of many 'Merc Saving Hunts' this year. lol
I'll take a MSH instead of the SDHOS any day. :yes: lol



love to see that silver shining up like that....great hunt!

Nothing beats the site of shiny. :smitten:



That is an excellent hunt. And in February!!! :perfect10: :perfect10:

You can't complain about soft ground in Iowa during February... especially the first week. <:



Great hunt! Gotta keep hitting that construction site every chance you get as they move dirt around!

Agreed. :yes: Although I think plenty of keepers have been scooped out and hauled away from here. crying01 There is
plenty of untouched or lightly skimmed area to hunt but I know plenty of coins went out with some of the dirt. >:/
Some of the yards have been excavated down 10-12 inches. crying01
