Messed around downtown from where I frequent. Was pecking around a 1920s neighborhood, not expecting much but definitely hoping for something "silvery" in the hole.
After about 40 minutes I realized my choice of curbstrips was a bust, so I headed over to a series of streets that has done me and my hunting buddy (Cruiserkev) well, thinking of rehitting the curbstrips AGAIN
. Reason is, with the decent amount of rain we have had re-checking "previously hunted" curbstrips has really netted me a decent amount of finds over the last year.
So, started off and really didn't find anything until I came upon a Rosie. Happy enough I decided to hit a solitary curbstrip of 30' or so that has paid us WELL with over 15 silvers, typically paying out 3 silvers on average on the first initial few hunts and as of late just really deep and really old Wheaties. At least I would have a "buddy" for my Rosie.
The house where this curbstrip is has been FOR SALE for a while and recently SOLD but every time I go by the new owner is not around...the house was built in 1900. Today was my lucky day and the new owner was super cool and told me that he was going to "tear up" the front yard so "have at it".
Truth be told I have hit the yard before (only once while it was for sale for seemingly 8 months), but now with permission and a focused 1 1/2 hours I was able to dig what is in the pictures. Couldn't be happier that the curbstrip and yard (more so the yard) continues to produce!!
The BARN BURNER for me was the 1908S Indian Head Penny....absolutely gorgeous shape, didn't realize what I had until I had already put it in its flip! SUPER STOKED!
The ring is a silver plated jobbie but I will take it, evidently it was made by UNCAS a 'U' with an arrow through it with the ring size '6'.
Happy Hunting everyone!!!
