As much as today’s hunt deserves a story, it is way past my bedtime, so it will have to be brief (which, of course the way I blog, is relative).<\/p>\n

First part of the hunt I dug 17 straight pennies. Nothing else. Unreal.\u00a0 11 wheaties, 1 abused large cent, and 5 memorials.\u00a0 Most of the wheaties were old; 6 of them were 1920 or before, one was 1923, and one was dateless, but I believe in the teens.\u00a0 Where’s the old silver?\u00a0 Where’s any silver? By my ratio of about 2.5×1, I should have had 4 silvers by now. (The copper is my 19th of the year, which ties a personal record).<\/p>\n

Eventually I got a 1929 merc, and started to feel better about getting some silver.<\/p>\n

And then I got not one, but two big ol’ silvers.\u00a0 First was a 1902 barber half that rang really weird, bouncing between iron and a silver quarter; I can see how this may have been passed over.\u00a0 When I first saw it in the hole, the way it was covered and angled, it looked like a Morgan dollar.\u00a0 For a moment I though I had my first Morgan, but it wasn’t to be.\u00a0 This is my 5th career barber half, and 12th silver half of the year.<\/p>\n

Shortly after that, I got a deep dime signal, I’m thinking maybe seated, but it turned out to be a 1807 Spanish 2 reale on its side.\u00a0 Sweet!\u00a0 My 5th career Spanish silver, and my 2nd 2 reale.<\/p>\n
