Hunted a sidewalk tearout here in town, got some goodies. Unfortunately the finds were pretty slim, whoever is doing the sidewalk tearout is digging too deep, >:(
and luckily these coins were in the side walls of the dirt. There was virtually no signals on the bottom, it was cut too deep.

I got a 1927 SLQ, 1897 barber dime, 1873 Toasted indian, it is so corroded it is not worthy of a front picture.. :laughing9:....an undated buffalo, and some wheats.

The sterling ring came from a house I hunted a bit today.

I was going to try a sidewalk. They guys were working and said that they had torn out 18 inches of dirt and replaced 18 inches, so that wasn't so interesting. The other trouble---this was probably the 3rd sidewalk in recorded memory, the last one being redone in probably the 70's. No promise there.

Did ask about the dumped dirt, and I will be heading there as soon as possible. Haven't given up on "under the sidewalk" dectecting yet.
