I was searching a playground here in Greensboro and I found a dark colored coin, cleaned it up a bit and it looks like a 1940 or 1942. WOO HOO!

    Congrats Kevin! Where there's one, there's another! Also means there could be silver there.

    Where there are Wheaties, there is often silver!

    I find my ratio of Wheats to silvers on a fresh site often runs about 10 or 12 to 1.

    So dig another nine or ten Wheaties and the next thing you know, a silver Roosie or a Merc will pop out!
