After last year of pulling 516 silvers, I didn’t expect to pull even 10% of that total this year, figuring most of my sites were washed up, and the warm end of the year was simply pulling this year’s total into last year.<\/p>\n
But, I’ve had a good winter so far (and I guess its spring now), and I managed to pull just one dime today, a 43D merc, but it is my 100th silver coin of the year.\u00a0 Certainly not on last year’s pace, having gone thru almost a quarter of the year already, but we will certainly take it.\u00a0 Each and every one is fun to dig, and that’s what it is all about.<\/p>\n
Yesterday I also pulled a rosie, and this treasure, a liberty cap large cent. Some people go gaga over these.\u00a0 I know, they are really old, and sort of rare, but this is the third one I’ve dug, and they always come out of the ground totally abused.\u00a0 Maybe I should be more grateful, ’cause I know someday I’ll be begging to pull a wheatie.\u00a0 Its just the abuse that annoys me, I think.\u00a0 Were it to come out of the ground clean, even if worn, I’d celebrate for a week.<\/p>\n
