Get ready for a TON of pictures because you're going to see a lot!
It all started yesterday my dad and I planned on going out west of us for the day and we're going to go ask permission at old houses we saw on the way. It was TERRIBLE. People said no, people weren't home, and we were running out of digging time. Until... We saw this nice big old house from the road with a HUGE front yard! We got out in hope for a yes since we hadn't even touched the metal detectors yet. The owner was super nice and said yes! He had also told us that a guy in his 20's was here before us and Found a few cuff buttons and a old tin whistle. Anyways we started hitting the yard and I wasn't finding much until my dad called me over to his hole...he found a 1727-176? KGII! His first copper! After that the finds started flooding in. I I Then found a nice old beautiful dandy button, a 1879 Indian in great shape, a unknown date fatty Indian, and a Tombac button! We then had to leave but we went back today! Since my dad found a copper yesterday and I haven't even found my first yet I was hoping I would find one today! I started swinging and for a while I hadn't found much until BAM! I found my first copper!!! A 1805 Draped Bust Half Cent!!! Finds after that consisted of a 1865 3 Cent Nickel, a 1750's Blowhole button, and another Tombac! It was a amazing 2 days and I will be going back again just to check if I missed anything! Here come the pictures!
