Got out for a few hours this afternoon with one of my hunting partners to get some permissions. The second permission was a true winner. I started out immediately finding a Cuban 20 Centavo coin, thought it was a quarter at first, then perhaps a Mexican coin. Wasn't until I got it home and took a good look at it that I realized it was a Cuban coin. These coins were actually made at the Philadelphia mint for the Cuban government. It also appears that this a a "fine reeded variety" which may mean it has more than melt value.
In the same yard, I proceeded to find another 5 or 6 wheat pennies as well as a 1903 Indian. Several of the wheats were old, including a 1910S, 1912S, 1917S, 1918S and a 1920S. Amazingly, I only dug one Memorial in the whole part of the yard that I searched. Since the hunting was so good in the yard, and with the age of the coins I had found, I was thinking there must be a Barber hiding somewhere. I was not to be disappointed as while searching the curb strip in front of the house I recovered a 1907D Barber Dime.
We went on to hunt 2 other permissions, and added a few wheats to our pouches, but no more silver. The best part was we met some really nice people and were able to just talk to them about the hobby. They all showed genuine interest in what we were doing and were really pleased to see the items we recovered from their yards.
Thanks for looking. GL&HH
