Giveway time! UPDATE, 50th piece found today!

10/07/09 You heard it... it's official! 50th piece today... update to come shortly!

1920 SLQ. might have hit it with the shovel slightly on the obverse . Oh well, still #50 for the year (36 coins and 14 jewelry)
Looks like grip was the closest with a guess of '47 washington!



A couple of milestones here or on the way!

First, I found my 150th wheat cent for the year. Pretty good considering my original goal was 100.

Ok, now to the giveaway. Today I found my 49th piece of silver for this year - 35 silver coins and 14 pieces of jewelry. The person who can come to closest to guessing what my 50th silver will be will get a prize. The contest will be open until I actually find my next piece of silver. So, if you think it will be a coin, you may guess "1945 merc", etc. If jewelry... maybe you say "sterling cross" etc...

If everyone is egregiously off, I'll choose a random number for the winner. I probably won't get out again until Sunday, so you have some time!

The prize will come from my "miscellaneous finds" bin, so it's most likely a piece of costume jewelry, but I'll search long and hard for the right piece!

Thanks and happy hunting!
