Went for a two night getaway and the wife asked if I was taking my detector. I first said "no" and then at last second threw it in. I'm glad I did. As we drove into town there was an old house (1906) being taken apart. After asking around I found it was being demolished to put in a new Family Dollar. I spent two evenings in the yard and found a 1927 and 1950 dime and six wheat pennies as well as a handful of other coins. What a great getaway!

I worked at their distribution center in Duncan, Oklahoma when it was first built a little over 20 years ago. The place was a slave camp. 5 years was all I could take.
