When I noted the wind chill temp was 18 this morning I debated about going for a morning hunt, but when I saw the actual temp was 29 I decided to give it a go. Glad I did, as a little silver is always a good warmer upper.
I opted to hunt the curb stretches along some roads and fairways that go through one of our old city parks. Once again not a bunch of targets, but was pleased with the few goodies I did dig. The sterling marked monogramed pendent did give the old ticker a pretty good start. Upon breaking open the cold of dirt it contained all I saw was the smooth back and promptly thought "OLD COIN".....like a reale. Still a neat find, none the less. Particularly, since it was right next to a previously dug hole. And I mean right next to it.
I was just about to call it a day when the 57d Rosie showed up. Got 1 of the 4 wheats right after that and then did head for my auto. The 4 wheat cents are 20, 20, 41 and 4?. The 4? is the clipped/cut one. Also wonder what the odds are of finding two 20 wheats on the same hunt? The Memphis Street Railroad Co. tokens show up from time to time and are from an older era then the Memphis Transit Co. ones that also get dug from time to time.
You guys and gals in the tundra, take heart. Each day brings us all nearer to some more ideal hunting conditions. HH jim tn

We need to hit that other place since we are having such nice weather. Maybe won't be anyone else around. HH jim tn
Nice work there Jim!
