My own tear out

[babybear]

Early this spring we decided it was time to replace the concrete patio between the house and garage. We wound up finding 2 different layers of patio and an old stone foundation buried under everything. Needless to say between the excavating and regrading the yard and knowing my place dates to 1850, I was really excited to swing a coil over everything. Turns out I wasn't disappointed.

Highlights are:
1905 IH
1892 & 1896 V Nickels
Silver Rosie's and a Merc
25 Wheats
Some really sweet marbles
A baby spoon
And all the other stuff in the pics

Thanks for looking and happy hunting!

Makes me want to rip up my patio That's a super group of finds and think of all the gas money you saved

you should leave a few zincs for the next fellow to find in a hundred years

Have you checked your property for old outhouses? Given the properties age...I'm sure your sitting on a load of treasure

Nice. Was there any doubt you would hunt that before allowing the work to finish? I like finding marbles too, never really into them as a kid but I've found 20 or so digging stuff all over my yard. Even learned what "Bennington" marbles are, got six small and a shooter of those. Learning about what we find is almost as fun as finding it.

Great detail on that V nickle! Usually they're worn out beyond recognition.

They would only be dust in the wind in a hundred years from now.

It's always cool finding something on ones own property, makes the find a little more special. Congrats on the finds and best of luck on finding more as you explore the property.
