I FINALLY cleared up all my $hit!!! Bags of coins, doo dads, junk, etc. laying all over the place. Aaaaahhhhhhh, feel like I can breathe now.
Did about 5.5 hours today. Got a 37 merc & 2 Indians (one is a 1884). Also got the ROSEBUD cover, probably for chewing tobacco or makeup back in the day, plus all of the other doo dads in the pics. The little pocketknife was down about 10", and appears gold, which makes sense since it rang up as 14 on the Safari, which is the foil/pull tab range. I'm going to test that sucker, and do a little electrolysis, too.
Did a tally on my coins, and for the year, I'm at 27 silvers, 29 Indians heads, and approximately 250 wheats (including today's finds). I'm very happy with the 250 wheat number, because that would mean the wheat to silver ratio is about 10 to 1, which is about right for our parts here in NJ, so, the law of averages is working good in the long haul.
P.S. - Will, you got more wheats coming if you want them What did you do with the others?
