Got permission to hunt an abandoned 1906 house. Amazed how few signals there were. Must have been hunted numerous times over the years.
I did break my silver drought though.
First hit was what looked like a half dollar, though very crusty and looked like clad.
Wasn't till I got it home, and after 10 tin foil, baking soda treatments, discovered it was a 1953 D Franklin Half Dollar!
I hit a Mercury Dime 1919, a 1946 wheatie, and just a handful of 70's lincolns.
A Palmolive token.
Assorted other bits and pieces, including a nice square nail.
****update I did some more work on the purple car underneath. It's a Tootsietoy Purple 1955 Jaguar D-Type Race Car, USA. ****
First two photos, the Franklin before cleaning.
