Went for a drive after some showers to look at a site or two and to knock on a door to get a permission for a site that once had a post office on it. So armed with a little knowledge I drove up and started to chat with the land owner over his pond, which turned out to be fed by a mill pond higher up, then from there a little sharing of history. I popped the question on ownership of the small field across the road and was granted permission to hunt. So after 3 hrs I had iron, a piece of lead that might be a seal, a broken pocket knife and a small door knob. The owners came up on an atv and asked what I was finding and I told them and they stated that I was kind of drawing too much attention from the locals and they calling to see if they were surveying the place...bla.bla.bla So they said that it might be better if went-my heart sank at the sound of permission being taken away only to be replaced by a better suggestion of going down the road 300 feet, drive down a lane and hunt a church that was torn down 60+yrs ago. They said it was built in the late 1880's and it was maybe a good spot to try. In the truck and I was gone, no needing to be told twice. So only had 2.5 hrs to hunt before had to go but it was one of the best hunts in long time for coinage.
It started off first signal a 1910 dime, then followed by a 1936 penny(no dot), then things slowed down as I left the area looking for the cellar hole of the church, so I returned to find a 1918 LC followed by a few 1940 pennies and a 1928 penny. Got then the great looking Navy pin, the silver F pin, then the highlight of the day the 1919 dime and a thanks as it would of been my Dad's Birthday today if he was still living and that was the year he was born, so I thought it was kind special finding the dime and I put it in a holder just because that. Got a rosette with the horse in the middle, and the hair pin. Not bad I thought for a redirect permission. So here's the pictures of the hunt.
