The rain stopped and the sun came out and I wasn't stuck inside at work! Been way too much rain this year here in NY. Well good timing for it as I had noticed an old house had disappeared and only by chance I just happen to know the new owners of the old property dated 1825. He told me that the guy that bulldozed the old place ran his metal detector across the yard and got a silver quarter and a silver dime. I don't know how old they were.

So I began swinging my Fisher for two straight hours til almost sunset tonight only digging the "good" tones... 2 Indian Head cents, 1896 and the other is Toast! 1 large cent dated 1830, 15 wheaties, and I got 1925 Standing Liberty Quarter. I hope to get back there again this weekend. This is only from the front yard :)

Since the day I first seen this place gone, they have moved some huge loads of dirt into one corner of the front yard, so who knows what else is still there under that pile that I can't get thru. Anyway, I wonder what the big back yard has waiting for me? 10341943_10205076688987751_7584267762195201165_n.jpg 10629778_10205076420901049_1825572052503667711_n.jpg 1234768_10205076420381036_3617735162867228193_n.jpg 535914_10205076421701069_7572506339758337460_n.jpg 10710794_10205076421261058_3310680817870528312_n.jpg 10696403_10205076419781021_5517073541465632194_n.jpg 1234558_10205076420541040_638807445586011041_n.jpg 10341701_10205076420061028_6968490405571204719_n.jpg
So that is 19 old coins in the front, plus 2 clad quarters, 2 memorial cents, 2 clad nickels and 1 clad dime.

Good Luck Diggin! I'm loving all the rain we are getting. Went out in between rain drops the other day over property I have hunted before and definitely getting some hits on deeper items. Looking forward to this upcoming weekend.

Happy Hunting!

Such a great little spot! I know how you feel about having a hot-spot you can't wait to get back to. I got one in Marblehead right now, and I'm chompin' at the bit to get back to it before the ground freezes up solid.

Nice crisp SLQ, not a common date, a rare one with a date that's for sure! Congrats and LC's not easy to come by.
