Hi all,

I got a chance to hunt a few yards in a neighborhood developed in the early 50's...I used my Prizm 9.5 coil that has proven itself to find some deeper coins. I didn't find much clad but managed a few oldies.

The corner of one back yard produced a key ring with 30 keys on it :o and another set of keys was found in another part of the yard, so 35 keys in one yard is my new record :D I also found a very unique (and large) silver ring, a "TILT" game token, 14 wheats (dated from 1930 - 1956) and a lone '41 Merc.

You, Nat, of all people.....,
I should`a just taken your word for it.
 

great lookin merc, good day of hunting. :)
 

looks like the big key ring are padlocks, still a nice find, congrats
 

Love the ring and the merc! :thumbsup: Wish I could start getting out, but I just started spring quarter at college again and I have so much homework. Plus I am holding down two jobs as well. I have barely any time to go on Tnet anymore let alone hunt. Nice job on the silver! :thumbsup:
 

It that's Nick's keymaster's yard, I wouldn't go back there... ;D

Nice finds! Lots of wheats, a gorgeous Merc, and that silver ring is very interesting! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

WTD, Nat! :wink:

Congrats on those finds~ Nana :)

Nice huntin' Nat. Congrats on finding the keys to a whole bunch of houses :D
Pretty cool that you found so many from one yard. Hey...a personal record is a personal record :thumbsup:
Nice merc too :thumbsup:
 

That key record of yours is hard to beat for sure. Not just 35 keys in one yard, but also 30 keys in a same hole ;D

And that ring is just awesome! One of the coolest I've seen 8) WTG! :thumbsup:

We still have too much snow and frozen ground here in Finland to detect, but soon, very soon it's time to hunt... :P And my brand new E-Trac should arrive some day next week, so you can imagine how anxious I am! :tongue3:
 

so 35 keys in one yard is my new record

I don't think you're going to break that record again, Nat! ;D ;D

Good to see you posting. Congrats on the merc, ring, and other oldies!

You're right Paul..when I dug it out I didn't know what it was at first ???
