Did some evening/night coinshooting in my neighborhood (area was developed in the 20s) along some curbstrips and a tot lot.
The only downside to coinshooting at night, besides having every passing car throw a spotlight on you like a prison guard, is that you don't notice when you get a decent pull.
I've only been at this for about a week, but snagged my first '58 Wheatie. Not a big deal to many of you veterans of the hobby, but it's a small victory for some relatively unproductive newbie MDing! (I currently avg less than a dollar in clad/2 hrs right now)
Unfortunately, I didn't know it was not clad till I cleaned it up at home today, so I don't know which of the three or four areas I was sweeping yielded the pull to go back and look for more of the same era.
Anyway, long post for a short story. Hopefully it's just a sign of better finds to come!

I'm on my second year and I've still only found 1 Wheatie. 
), and they always will be. Keep up the good work!
. And I have been at it 15 years. Keep swinging lot's of firsts to come.
