Default Hunt At The Old Country Store Again And More Keepers!

Haven't been able to hunt in two weeks so my buddy L J and I headed for the old country store site for a Sunday hunt. Along the way we stopped at several other sites that we have hunted in the past and got skunked. We got to the old store site about 1 pm and it was windy and cold but sunny. We didn't have the kind of day we've had in the past but we found a few nice coins and relics and had a great time. I found: my 3rd Large Cent (another no date or detail but exactly the right size and worn very thin), two buffalo nickles ( my first with readable dates- 1920 & 1921), a Harry Truman presidential token/coin which I thought was another LC when I first dug it (I was already stoked from finding the first LC and this token was my next dig), a lead seal of some sort, and some other bits and bobs. L J found two wheat cents, one IH no date in bad condition, and a few relic pieces as well. All in all it was a fun and finally a productive day ( the old store site saves the day again)! Thanks for looking and happy hunting to all ~ Jimmy

Default Some hard hunting but some really nice finds.

It makes me wonder how long you can keep plundering that store before you've cleaned out that site. It may be time to start researching the next hot site, so you've got a back up when the finds start to trickle off at the country store. Keep flogging that site though, it's a good one.

Cheers,

BDA
