todays 2 boxes of halves....plus an unexpected surprise

[cdickrun64]

The 2 boxes were both skunks. However, this afternoon i was patching some dead spots in the front lawn, when i scraped up a wheatie. Then 2 more, then 4 more, etc, etc......ended up with 15 wheaties between 1928 and 1956. Very weird that they were right near the surface, but show the exposure to elements, so i know they have been there awhile. Moved on to my next patch a few feet away, and scraped up a 1973 Memorial, then 3 more, etc, etc......ended up with 10 between 1973 and 1977. A very unexpected find......I guess you just never know......
