Short Hunt Brings Silver and an Indian

[stpatrick]

My dad and I headed out yesterday morning for a quick hunt in an older suburb. We have both had good luck in this particular neighborhood. Last week I found four silver dimes and an IHP (1898) and the week before that I found three silver dimes and a no date SLQ. Not to mention the mess of wheat pennies that accompanied the silver. I had high expectations going out there and the higher beings did not disappoint. In about an hour and a half, I dug two Mercury Dimes, including an 1917 and a 1936. I also dug my second IHP in two weeks, this time a 1899. Towards the end of the hunt I found a John Tyler presidential token. It was about 4.5" deep right next to a sidewalk. Pretty interesting facts about the 10th President on the reverse of the token. Learn something new every day I guess. I also recovered 10 wheat pennies including a 1914, 1920, 1928, 1930D, three 1941s, 1944, 1949, and a 1955D. Dad found a couple of wheat pennies. I've got a long way to go to catch up to his fifty-something silver coins on the year.

Good luck and be safe.

Yeah, it's pretty amazing what the old man can do. He really gets into it too. I think I even saw him taste the dirt once or twice trying to get a better "read" on the land.
