[heymirth]

What's the best thing you've found in your own front yard or on you're own property that kinda blows your mind--- like Wow


I have a 1995House and the craizest thing I found when I got my first MD was a 1982 JFK 1/2 Dollar.
I would never immagine that would be in my front yard

My front yard doesn't like me........neither does my back yard.........
They don't give up nuthin' but rust and nails..........
Seriously, the first coin I found in my yard was a 1958 D Wheatie within the first 5 minutes of detecting..........I thought, "This is gonna be fun and easy!"............LOL
After 15 or so sweeps around the house, I've collected about $3.00......the most notable was a Sacajawea just under the back door steps...........

A 2 gallon pail, rusted and crushed flat, 12" deep. It was my first find with the AT Pro. Really thought I'd hit the jackpot. Like the pail, I was crushed. The WOW factor was from my bride who asked, "Wow.......you paid how much to find that?" LOL

I live in an apt above a business so the closest thing I've had to a front yard was hunting the sidewalk tearout a couple years ago. I found a 1901 V nickel and an 1883 IH penny amongst other things.

My wife bought me a bounty hunter for Christmas, about 8 years ago, just after we bought our house. I was green to the hobby, didn't have a pro pointer, or any clue on how to cut a plug. I tore my yard up with a big shovel, chasing every target, and there were LOTS of targets. After a week or so getting into the swing of things, my yard became an attractive cat box to all the neighborhood strays...wife was pissed.
Notable finds included a 6 pack of crushed Ballentine beer cans, buried with 3 live .45 caliber rounds, , a 1952 rabies vacc. dog tag, several wheats, oldest was 1910, and about 50 fishing weights and copper tube/plumbing scraps. I also recall pulling about 3 or 4 dollars in clad.
I put the detector away for a few years, as golf was still my primary hobby. So after an injury, that at the time prevented me from swinging a golf club, my wife suggested I try getting back into detecting. So I found all these detecting websites, got my interest in beeping again.
I dusted off the bounty hunter, and I found a 1942 Mercury dime! That was right next to my front porch! I remember screaming bloody murder in excitement, it was my first silver, what an incredible feeling. Since then, I have been obsessed with detecting, so much so, that sometimes I can't sleep, thinking about permissions, finds, all that.
As soon as I upgraded to the AT Pro, I re-beeped my yard, and wouldn't you know, I found a 1915 Barber Dime, in my front yard, about a foot deep. It would still be there, if it wasn't for my wife.

Lady's Harley Davidson club ring, Gave it to my wife's sisters daughter she lost it and we did not take pictures of it

 

[smokeythecat]

About $4 in clad change, that my younger daughter confessed to taking it out of my wallet when she was little. She buried the coins in the lawn so her sister wouldn't find them. Becca squirrel forgot to dig them up. Typical squirrel.

A buckboard seat bracket. Found about 6" down and 6" away from my driveway. The area I lived in (The Woodlands, TX) was a major tree harvesting area in the 1800s.

i found 2 indian head pennies in my front yard. the kicker is it was different dirt that i found the second one in. i found an 1881 in the front of my house. But my neighbor had brought a load of fill from his moms house in moravia,ny so i figured id check it out and out comes a 1865 ihp. So i figured id ask him to ask his mom if i could detect her house so im going sat with him. i will let you all know if i find anything else cool

 

[thaigler]

a top off of a 19th century cast iron dutch oven and 19th century blacksmith hoe.......nothing great. It just seemed odd for it to be in the backyard..Wife wont let me check the front yard :-)

I did find out later that where my house is located that in mid 1800's there was a large plantation close by with slaves. And where my house was was in the middle of 100s of acres of cotton. Hoe makes sense now ..Dutch oven in middle of cotton field who knows

 

[metaldetecta]

I found a bunch of wheat pennies, an indian head penny, a bunch of pocket knives, and a few relics. My best find was a CCC ring in my side yard. Nobody yet has been able to identity it, not even the president of the CCC! http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/today-s-finds/368451-amazing-ccc-ring.html

My house is from 1959 and my best find there would either be a 1940 Mercury Dime or a 1945-P War Nickel. I can't decide

A 1777 Spanish 2 Reale coin found in the side yard of a house built in 1948.

Outside the front door of the house where I lived as a teenager, I found a silver 1963 Canadian dime. This was a house in the midwest, built in 1965. Go figure
