The house was built around 1880. I was elated to get the "whenever" permission. A buddy went with me one day and I hit it again before the last cold wave came in. My buddy found a bus token, a few silver dimes, and a few wheaties. I found a couple of silver dimes, an excellent 1890 Indian head that I hope to picture later. I also found my first pocket spill! The 3 silver quarters, silver dime and nickel all came out of the same hole! thanks for looking
Here's my best find. It's a Stone Mountain commemorative half dollar from 1925! This was just along the sidewalk turned partially on end. The thimble and ring were found close together and both of silver. The Shield nickle is from 1874. Altogether, it's my best yard yet!

Nice silver,

That is a great yard. Have hunted one's like it before. Untouched sites are rare.

That Stone Mountain coin is way cool...My dad was raised not far from there and I visited there several times. Perhaps I will have my detector next time and do some door knocking!!!
Sweet digs

I just used soap and a toothbrush on the penny. The ground is very good for pennies. I will try to post the XF++ grade 1890 penny I found later! I barely touched it with the toothbrush and a touch of handsoap.

Hey those are some great finds.. just a small pointer, when you find those silver coins, wait til you get home to clean em off cuz you can see all the rub marks from when you found em.. If you ever find a key date coin worth a few hundred or thousand, it will significantly lower the value.. just a tip :thumbsup:
