Well, decided to go out for a short hunt today with one of my hunting partners named Rick. We got permission from an old dirt road home that is definately pre-1900. We were only there for a few hours. The owner said that someone had stopped by a few years ago and detected it, but he wasn't sure what they found...if anything.
Anyway, we were there less about 5 minutes when I found the best find of the day...a 1904 Canadian Dime that was down about 2-3 inches near an old oak tree. The spot was probably overlooked since it was it was within just a few feet of both the driveway and the road. Either way...no complaint from me. I went and showed Rick and that pumped him up. There is quite a lot of iron in the yard, like most old farmhouses. I ended the day with 21 coins:
16 clad coins: 10 pennies, 4 dimes, 2 quarters.
5 Good Finds: 3 wheats (44, 53D, & 56D), 1904 Canadian Dime, 1957D Roosevelt Dime.
Also found 2 dog tax tags from 1929...both are from 1929, but are different numbers, so they must have had multiple dogs.
Also got a silver spoon, but pretty sure its just silver plated. Anyway, not a bad day for only a few hour hunt.
Nice finds. I like the dog licenses. They must of had a dog at the first of the year and then got another later on because there are 400 licenses issued in between them. looks like your getting into some good spots.
wow that's a great hunt! congrats on some nice finds! 2 old dog tags from the same year that's pretty sweet, crazy how far apart the numbers are too, I wonder if was 2 dogs scrappin
