Default Couple of wheats and some relics

My last few hunts have been a little frustrating for me. I'm finding a lot of wheaties but no silver whatsoever. These few sites are old enough to hold silvers all the way back to barber mintage, yet nada. Lots of copper memorials and other clad, and total wheats for the last few hunts is around 12 or so.
These 3 wheats are from this mornings hunt, as the other wheats are put away in the coin box. dates are 1919, 1935, and 1943. All 3 of them were around the 3 to 4 inch range, not deep at all. The small makeup case??? was down around 6 inches..i just KNEW i had my first silver quarter of the year ...NOT!!! It has "princess pat" on the front.
The other thing, lets call it a cover for a toy maybe??..was down about 9 inches. It rang up as a half...and yes i was crossing my fingers as i dug the hole. One can hope cant he? I have NO clue what the cover thing is..so if anyone has any ideas feel free to hit me with them. HH all and thanks for looking!

I feel your pain. I have dug up almost 20 wheats so far in 2012 and no silver yet.
