Tiny yard, lots of loot

[Gribnitz]

I haven't posted any finds in a while....actually I haven't gotten out in a long while due to work
I got up early today and had a few hours before the wife and kids could start assigning chores, so I snuck out. Instead of looking for civil war relics in my hammered spot which I have been skunked at the last 3 times, I decided to hit a tiny old yard where a beautiful 1913 Historical Registry house sits. The yard couldn't have been much over 7000 sq ft. I don't target coins much, but being deer season and not wanting to get shot, along with the problem of not finding too many civil war relics my last few times out, I thought I would give this coin thing a try. I didn't get anything too terribly old, but it sure was nice getting out again and digging a lot of targets. I haven't had to dig this many holes in a long while.

For coins, I managed a 56D, 55D, 52D, 3 1945, a 44D, 1917 and a 1913D wheat, a 1937 Mercury, 1891 Indian, 69 cents in clad, 3 1974 Cinco Centavos, and a 1968 Cinco Centavo.

I got a few whatzits and a pretty pin with some stones in it marked KS.

Hopefully I will be able to get out more soon, but I am not holding my breath. Happy Hunting all.

Yep, had a great time. Roger was a great host as usual. I won two Block I buttons for a token I found. I didn't dig up anything great, but Doug from Tennessee dug one of the confederate borman shells that was buried.

Great finds Grib, I know what you mean about not wanting to get shot, it kinda limits some sites for awhile!

WOW! That must be an old playground. You found a rare, virgin tot lot from 1913 there. Way to go!
