Howdy all,
Got a call today and was asked to look for some keys at a 1920's house. The deal was since I was lookin for the keys I could keep any coins I found. The fella said the keys were lost more than a month ago, but he would like me to see what I could do. My wife and I showed up to find out that the only spot that wasn't scraped off by a bobcat was up in front. A space about 20 foot by 10 foot. :'( The rest of the property had been scraped down over a foot, and had only sporadic iron signals.
I spent about 45 minutes huntin that strip and managed a couple keepers. Along with the 1956D rosie I also managed 4 wheats. The oldest being 1919S. I did find what was left of the keys, but the lawn mower had beat me to em. The little car is cool too. It says Sheetal inside. At first I thought it was another tootsie toy, but after cleaning I found it wasn't. Hope ya'll are doin as well as I am, or better.

I wish I didn't forget so darn much! I thought only the Merc dimes were silver???? No matter you have some good finds here. WTG
All Rosies from 1964 an older are silver. Luck in the hunt Mumszie.

Thanks Juju. I am going to have to go through my dimes again and check them out. THIS time I wrote myself a note and taped it up by my chair so when I am looking at my coins I can remember! Thanks again.
