I've been going to a great property for about 2 years now. There is an old house on the property that is currently in a sad state, and probably too far gone to ever restore to its former glory. The house potentially dates back to the 1700's. It sits about 1/4 mile from a river that has an old ford crossing, and the old road goes through the 60 acre property.
The biggest problem with the property is the extreme amount of trash... Above and below ground. However, my at pro has been great at sniffing out coins and relics amongst the trash on the property. We usually find a couple keepers and a lot of scrap every time we go there, but two weeks ago I got skunked!:BangHead:
Yesterday my luck turned around though. I started by digging a small possibly lead button. It's about the size of a cuff button, has typical white patina, and a single hole in the center. I ended up giving it to the property owner, so it's not included in the pic. I also gave him a 1920 wheatie... It was rough... And a neat little "Genuine Olga Pocahontas coal scatter tag." My keepers included : 27 cents in clad, a 1944 wheatie, a copper disc that I originally thought was a Chinese coin... Any thoughts? Also got a couple more cuff buttons and an old brass tent rope tensioner. I've seen these listed as civil war artifacts, but when I started looking them up I found a patent date of 1880. Still a cool find go me though, especially to pull it out of a trashy yard I've been over time and time again! I'm loving the small coil on the AT, it's amazing for hearing the individual targets.
I can't take credit for the 1943D war nickel... I got it in change on Friday night. I knew immediately when the cashier handed me that 7 cents that there was something special about the nickel!
Always check your change and HH!
