Metal Detecting goodies.

This is what Dwight found last week end, at the boy/girl scout camp.
This is the ring I found this morning at the old girl/boy scout camp. Nice don't you think? It even fits me.

I found 4 wheat pennies the oldest one 1919 I found on the top! I didn't even have to dig for it.

And we both found several wheat pennies. Some clad and of course a lot of metal junk. One other thing was a ash tray that had a camel ad on it. On Monday I had found a wheat penny in a yard that I was detecting on in town.

I had what I thought was a 1914D wheat penny, I took it to that guy that has a coin and jewery shop at Main Street Cafe. He told me that it was a 1914 D but that the 1914s was the better of the two. He also told me that if he were to buy it, he would pay me $32. That was after I had check on the Internet to find that it was worth a lot of money. I have been so excited and thrilled that I had found some thing that was really worth some good money. At least $200. to 400. Tonight I took a picture of it which came out very clear so clear in fact that I just realized that it was actually a 1911 d. I could have sworn that it was a 1914 D. Dwight said that was what he saw, and that is what the guy from the coin store said, that was even after he looked at it through he's special lens. I had him put it in a protection holder to keep it safe. I have not looked at it that close again until I took this picture tonight. I looked at it through MS Picture Viewer and it was so clear that I took a closer look again and it is definitely a 1911 d. I am SO bummed now:( here is the picture): It shows up so much better when it's blown up 100% I looked at it and looked and sure enough it is an 1911. Dwight said do you think he could have witched it...
I wish I would have taken the picture before it left the house if he did find a way to switch it I'm screwed, even if he didn't I'm just bummed. Well it felt good for now.
I also found a Mercury dime... Which is a 1941 wait it's a 1943.

The Cabin is now 2/3's our!!!!!!!!!!!


Yesterday Dwight met with Lena at 2:00 pm and they signed an agreement and Dad handed over a check.
So Lena is no out of our lives. She turned over the deed to the lake and the lots at Crary. There were some tense moments for Dwight, but he is sleeping better now and it's going to end a lot of tension. He said it's like a heavy weight has been lifted off his chest. I'm so glad it's over. Yeah Norma still has a share 1/3 but I don't think she plans to sell to any one any time soon. At least that what she says now.
