Last week I was in Nashville TN, visiting my brother. It was a very fast visit and I literally only had a two hour window to hunt. He has friend that has a 1920s house close to town and we obtained permission to hunt. The yard was maybe 35 x 25 feet. I allowed my brother to hunt using the Deus after a quick lesson and I used the CTX, but I had really crappy headphones, so it took me the first 30 minutes to even realize what I was trying to listen for. This is probably the most wheats I found in such as small place at one time. My brother found two more.
I tried to search the back, but the mosquito were giving me a run and there was a lot of dog crap, so I just skimmed it real quickly.
The dates ranged from 1918-1957. The ground was amazingly good to them. The soil must have been very mild compared to the dirt in my parts where I have dug hundreds of wheats:
I also found this small silver Claddagh ring in the front yard and the junk lady bug ring in the back:
Do you ever not find a whole lot at a site the first time and then just have a feeling there is more there, and then it produces? This is the case here at this site where I found the silver dimes. I just wished I would have one "epic" hunt instead of all these "onesies" on the finds.
]I went back to a place where I had found the V nickel and some older Jefferson nickels. There was an old house there that was plowed over and so the ground was built up a little. The Mercury dime was in a previous post that I had made but the Barber dime was a new find which gave a strong signal within 8" of the sidewalk. Both dimes were about 8" deep because of the fill.
That is about everything that I have found lately that is worth mentioning.
