 Strip Mining Northern California, One Silver Coin at a time...
Return To The Old Church! Two 100+ Year Old Coins!
Hunted the old church again and scored 4 keepers! In the back grass area dug another mercury dime and 3 wheat pennies.
51 more coins came off the back yard area of the church.
Hunted the front area of the church and dug down 6 inches and found two wheat pennies and a 1905 Indian Head penny in
the same hole! Also on the front grass got another V nickel, this one is a 1903! A 1945-S silver nickel and a few more wheat
pennies toped off the day!
Hunting San Francisco Bay Area since 1985

Very nice. The good lord must have been looking down on you.

Great finds! 
You will probably want to work on making smaller, neater holes if you're going to use the plug method to find your targets in lawns.
Best Wishes,

I agree with Buckleboy. I put the dirt on a cloth. Makes it faster to fill in the hole and leaves no dirt residue on the lawn.
