More wheat from Main Street and the silver dimes stopped hiding

[tnt-hunter]

I got back to the new permission on Main Street today and got in 3 and a half hours of swingin before the rain made detecting too messy to continue in a yard. You have to keep the owners happy or you won’t be able to come back and there is still a lot of yard to cover.

Mostly coins today not much interesting otherwise. I did find 32 coins with a face value of $1.64, including a 1942 merc, a 1964 Rosie, 8 wheats dated 1909, 1910, 1912, 1919, 1928, 1947, 1955D, 1957, a coat button with a ferrous metal back, a play dime, and another piece of the embellishment from last time (it was about a foot away from where I found the last 2 pieces).

​

The silver dimes hid from me last time, but today I managed to get my coil over 2 of them. Hopefully there will be more. With the play dime you could say I found a dime trifecta

​

The 5 older wheats look like they will clean up nicely with peroxide. The 3 newer ones look rough and may not be worth cleaning. The 1909 is just a 1909 no S, D, or VDB. This yard has produced a nice batch of older wheats. I hope a can find a Barber or two since they are from the same date range as a bunch of the wheats.

​

Thanks for looking and may your coil lead you to good things.

GOOD JOB, "tnt-hunter" and excellent mix of both silver "keepers" and wheat cents. I love the 1st year issue 1909 Lincoln cent, and I also have found a lot of the 1942 Mercury dimes over the years (year of my birth) & reason why Merc's are my favorite.....and always FUN finding them as well. Good Luck & Happy Hunting to All. BILL

Thanks to all for the kind words. With luck I will get back next week and see what else is hiding under the grass.

I hope the weather clears up. Right now it is snowing and we have about 2 inches on the ground. Spring might get here to stay eventually.
