Large silver and first LARGE CENT!!!!

[drodda777]

Spent 9 hours out hunting today. Found quite a few keepers. The world is missing at least a 500 pull tabs (Not Shown) also today. I am on a mission to remove every pull tab from my small town. I think I am gaining on them.

pictured is:
1909S VDB Wheat Penny (LARGE CENT) Measures 3" across Pic is actual size.
1942S Walking Liberty Half
1942, 1945 Mercury Dimes
1900, 1904 Indian Head Pennies
1919,1919,1921,1934,1942,1942,1945,1948,1949D,1955D Wheaties
6 Buffalo nickel

$3.52 in Clad

Broach with Pink Stone
Lion Silver ring Toy

Various other relics and whatsits.

Today was a beautiful day to be out in Central Iowa. I spent the day with my 4 year old daughter and found a variety of different coins and relics, what more can you ask for.

Hope everyone is getting a chance to find some neat things this spring,

HH,

Dave

P.S. Bruce, wish you could have been here today. I could have used the help diggin pull tabs!!!!

Re: Some silver and first LARGE CENT!!!!

That's a great set of finds there, Dave!!

Love that Big Silver!!

Kudos to you for digging all of those pull tab signals. I'm usually ignoring those signals in the turf, and concentrating more on the deeper higher conductors(copper/silver/zinc signals). That's why I don't find a lot of older nickels or gold rings.

I actually found this on the same lot I was hunting on Sunday, except it was found on Thursday night. I had not shown it so thought I would include it in the pictures for Sundays finds. When I dug that one I just sat there and laughed for about 5 minutes to myself. My father-in-law works with me. Every morning he asks if I found a 1909S VBD yet. Well now I can say yes I have. When I showed it to him he laughed also. Just can't seem to get it to fit in my Whitman's penny holder though?

HH,

THAT 1909-s VDB BELONGS on the headline of your post, and on THE BANNER!!!!! MY VOTE IS IN!

Still a Cool Find Though.

Looks like you been Doing Good

Thanks for the replies, Seems the 1942 year was a popular find yesterday. MY knees are screaming at me this morning though.

I get to cross two off my list after finding that 1909S, the large cent and the 1909S VDB all at once?

HH,

Dave
