My DH asked for us to have permission to hunt on private property. It is an old house...maybe about 100 years old or so and HUGE but sadly will be torn down soon. So we are madly hunting till the tear down begins.



Since Thursday:

My first buffalo nickels (2)

My first Mercs (3)

45 Wheaties, oldest 1910

2 Indian Head pennies, one dug by each of us, 1889, 1890

3 silver Roosevelts

3 foreign coins, oldest 1900

2 lead soldiers



and More!!! I'll post totals and pics when we are finished...maybe about a week I hope left to hunt this great site!

UPDATE: It just gets better...gold ring today...more to come!

Very cool!! You will have to have a display case just for finds from that house! Sad it is being torn down but oh so happy you are getting to find some of the history there before it is covered up again! Thanks for sharing....looking forward to seeing pics when you get all the finds together!

I'd like to see those lead soldiers..
Around here they usually tear down the old houses because it's easier to just build a new one, but you can't build in character, thats for sure.

Looks like you had a great day. The ring is awesome. I would definitely take pictures of the house and put the finds in a display case. You are off to a great start.
