Wheaties and Silver and Gold Oh My!

[bigrig40]

Hi all,
First thing I have to say is Ilove private yard huntin!Its like hitting untouched ground almost every time.We haven't found serious old items but I believe we will sooner than later.We hit 2 small yards yesterday of friends of mine and the total take wasn't awesome it was still fun. The first yard yielded 3 wheats dating:1916,1920 and 1944,it also gave us a neat looking clip on pin a AA token and a ring that says gold-filled inside.Not great quality but it was still a gold find.The 2nd yard gave us the 1948 rosie and 4 wheats dating:1919,1926,1943,1945.We still have 2 yards and a farm house to hunt plus going back over these yards again.

peace,bigrig

Jeff--the AA one was given to a new member of Alcoholics Anonymous for the milestone of staying sober 1 month. There are various types of AA pins and medals given from various chapters for various milestones. Best, John in ID

Thanks John.

My BRAIN was saying 1 Month of AA.

But Thinking 1 Free Month ?

Which made no Sense, Sinse I don't think AA Charges for Meetings

Great finds, I bet you know this but in-case you don't (gold-filled) is better than plated its thicker/purer than gold plated.

Great Haul once again,

Keep @ it and HH!!
