Found a Red Indian today...

I got called in to work early today. As a result, I got out from work early today. I headed off to the Little League field I've been working lately, that gave up a '50 Roosie last week. Well, when I got there, some kids were playing on it, so I decided to hit an area right across the road, that looked like a picnic grove.

I know it has seen modern use, as there are a few benches around. I was hoping it had also seen some use way-back-when, as the oak trees were pretty massive. As I suspected, right when I started, I was getting mid-tone pulltab signals everywhere. I started looking for an open spot, that didn't have quite as much trash. I found one, and started slowly searching it. Sure enough, this was the first coin up, from only an inch down!

I was able to make out a barely readable date, by seeing the right side of a "2" and most of a "7", for a date of 1927.

I was also able to squeeze out a crusty '44 Wheat. The soil here is fairly dense clay, there's a pond nearby, so it's fairly wet. Also, I'm searching underneath some big oak trees, so I'm assuming all the acorns have altered the soil a bit, so I'm not surprised to find a crusty Wheat.

Note: the picture(s) might not show up due to bandwidth limitations. If the picture(s) are not there, check back at a later time.
