Digging KS 🇺🇲

I've spent the last week looking for a different kind of history, prehistory. Did you know the Flint Hills of Kansas was once a tropical sea? My own back yard was hiding pieces of fossil soup, Brachiopods and Bryozoans galore. And I've just learned what an Agate is as well.

Did my civic duty. Let's GO!!!

Got over to a new permission today. 1950 house half a mile from a 150+ year old college campus. This was just the front yard. Three wheats, including a 1916D. Two silver Rosies, 1963 & 1964. Dog Tax tag 1963, 1953 US play penny, and a 1941 nickel. #Saturdaynightcoinshow

This poor cent has needle-pokes and is nearly worn flat. However, it appears to be a 1911 D. Given its poor condition, I know it can't be worth much. Just wondering if I should put in a placard or just throw it in my jar of wheats? #Saturdaynightcoinshow

Had a fun day #metaldetecting at an old city park. Found $1.52, a 1988 2 Pfennig, and a very small sterling ring. In addition, my wife brought home two 1930's coins from her cash drawer at work. #Saturdaynightcoinshow

Was sick Thursday/Friday. Probably should've rested today, as it's 95 and sunny out. Instead, decided to sweat it out and dig at the park. Cleaned up a bit of trash, and was rewarded with $1.50! How about an all-natural detox that pays $0.75/hr! #metaldetecting

Follow-up to my earlier tweet.. Just looking through these wheats, and I see this one looks like some sort of planchet error? Obviously the coin is circulated and damaged, I don't expect a premium, but would be cool to have found an "error" coin.

A good friend at work retired recently and is downsizing his living space. He said he had a box to give me but didn't say what was in it. Found this in my driver seat today. Wow! #Saturdaynightcoinshow it's been a while since I've had anything to share!

Found a 1944 wheat in the Dollar Tree parking lot 👍 it looks worn out, lets give it a place to rest.

$20 less-rare star note from the ATM. Haven't found many keepers lately but I'll hold on to this one.

I guess I'll keep these hats for another year. Dawgs > Frawgs

Coworker brought a bag of mostly modern Euro coins he brought back from a vacation. In the bag was one coin recovered from a shipwreck. I didn't get a good pic as we were at work. Oldest coin I've held in a while 👍 #Saturdaynightcoinshow

$5 Star note from the drawer at work. Less rare, still fun, and $5 saved.

Spent a little time #metaldetecting at the park today. Found some typical junk, but glad I could get out and dig before it got too hot.

Found a couple of travelers at the Coinstar.

@ryanhallyall damage from Tornado warned storm, Manhattan KS. Same storm caused significant damage in Marysville and Blue Rapids, KS before heading straight south towards us.

It's been so long since I've found anything to show you all, I'm actually excited to say I got a $5 less rare star note in change today, AND found a traveler at the coinstar. #Saturdaynightcoinshow

After months of never finding the time to swing the detector, I finally got the chance. My parents recently moved, and although this house isn't as old as their last house, I gave it a go. My only coin find of the day was a 1929 wheat. #Saturdaynightcoinshow #metaldetecting

Know anybody born 05/22/2007 ? It's been a while since I've found anything at all, so I'm counting this as a find 🤣
