Great coins!
Yesterday I went back to the small town where I hunted a sidewalk tearout a few weeks back. Well now they scraped the entire curb strip off about 6" deep!!!!
yesterday was the best day, got 6 indians, 9 wheats, 3 silver 1892 and 1902 barbers, 1916 merc, and 1887 V nickel. Today was nothing to complain about but not quite as stellar. Today netted me 3 buffalo nickels, 4 more wheats, 2 more indians, another barber dime and a soap token. Pretty good hunt both days!
now in 3 weeks I have dug all 1916 merc dimes how nuts is that!???
8-27-11 dug the 1916-D
9-11-11 dug the 1916-S
9-14-11 I dug the 1916 plain.....good thing I got the "D" first...lol
this year I am at 157 silver, 94 indians (my goal is 100!!!)
I had a buddy leave our hunt early yesterday to do a sidewalk tearout. Hope he fared as well as you did. Pulltab, how bout it?
