Sorry all it's been awhile since my last post. Still hunting my backyard, but I upgraded my tracker IV to an AT pro and also purchased a propointer. Haven't had a lot of time to post so I'm lumping my hunts so far this season. (And in MN the season is short!) This is a collection of pics from my ''keepers'' this summer. First of all my oldest coins so far... a 1899 and 1901 V nickels :headbang: 1899 v nickel.JPG 1899 v nickel back.JPG 1901 v nickel.JPG 1901 v nickel back.JPG
A 1924 mercury dime 1924 merc.JPG 1924 merc back.JPG
Getting closer to finding gold.... a Lutheran sunday school pin marked 1/10th 10kgf...so close. 10k gf lutheran sunday school pin.JPG 10k gf lutheran sunday school pin back.JPG
Also found the lid to the gold plated pocket watch I found last summer, very decorated. Again so close...:BangHead: gold plated pocket watch.JPG
really thought I had gold this time.... napier bracelet from yard.JPG Nope, napier costume jewelry.
Found a plane that crashed, obvious trouble with the landing gear. tootsie toy plane 3.JPG tootsie toy plane.JPG
A neat button with a horse and lion. button with horse and lion.JPG
Cherub charm on a gold plated straight pin, charm is stamped copper in two halves. double sided copper cherrub pin.JPG
I have also found a LOT of broken glass in the holes that I've been digging here a couple of bottles that survived. 3 in one oil bottle.JPG 3 in one oil bottle side.JPG half pint bottle.JPG
Not sure on the age of this necklace, but thought it was worth keepin. nicklace from yard.JPG
Sore throat anyone? Found an old tin of Vicks, opened it and it still has some in it. Even smells like vicks still! vicks rub back.JPG vicks rub.JPG
An old cones boss railroad button. railroad cones boss button.JPG
All this didn't come easy............LOTS of holes dug this summer and over three 5 gallon buckets full of trash and other relics that didn't make the cut.
Here's an update on all the ''good'' coins from my yard to date. Enjoy and happy hunting everyone!!!!!!!!!!!:icon_thumleft:

All from my yard, haven't hunted anywhere else yet. Still have at least two acres left to go over. Did just get permission to hunt a one room schoolhouse from early 1900's, can't wait to get there.

I have looked everywhere for these Chuck E Cheese tokens. What settings are you using to find them?

Very nice set of finds LR3! The V nickels are in really nice shape. Congrats!

Nothing wrong at all with those finds, actually pretty Sweet and all from your yard. And you still have two acres to go, Awesome.
Have you hit the area more then once that you've already hit? Good Luck with the rest of the yard and that one room school house property!!
