With it being so dry here in the PNW I have been primarily CRH'ing (which has been SUPER productive). But today:
A co-worker from my company happens to live in the same town that I usually hunt asked me when was I going to come over and hunt her yard. She lives in a 1902 home and gave me free reign to hunt front and back yards. Of course I obliged her
Unfortunately the only thing I found (which I gave to the owner) was a 1907 V-Nickel. But it was definitely karma because she got me on 2 additional properties and that is where I found the 1920S Merc, started to find a decent number of wheats. At the tail end of one of the 1905 homes I found the 3.1gram Sterling Silver earring and lastly dug the oldest wheat being a 1912S Wheat. If I treat it correctly it could be worth upwards to $11 in G4.
The picture doesn't do the 1912S justice but it is in the upper left hand corner (I didn't clean the wheaties).
Again, nothing "amazing" but the Merc, earring, and 1912S wheat were great finds.
Lastly, if you are wondering on the CRH'ing....I have found 15 silver halves since I started hunting Loomis rolled coins. 15 silvers for 5 boxes so far, not a bad average.
