They cleared a 40x40 lot that just had concrete on it and underneath is what looks like a old dump cause there was glass and iron and pottery everywhere there is so much iron I can’t get more than a few inches down but got my first u s belt buckle and silver coins and lots of wheats and Indian and buffalo nickels and v nickel and confederate Gardner and tons of other stiff

Wow Crabs!! Amazing what you find in the most unassuming places! Congrats inbthe belt plate, the silvers...coppers, and the beauty of a pocket watch. Looks like a time capsule, just waiting to be unearthed after being covered with concrete long ago. Congrats on an excellent hunt..Ddf.

Get a bottle probe in there and look for deep spots in the trash layer. Sure to be tons of great stuff.

Congrats, looks like a good spot!

40x40 isn't that big, take a rake or a sifter in there, looks like it would well be worth the effort!

HH,

Congrats on those finds. :occasion14: I have a question for you though... Do all NC MDers hunt the slums and Ghettos? I have hunted with a few friends in Charlotte on several occasions and we always seemed to hunt on the other side of the tracks (if ya know what I mean). Often after the housing was removed. I've dug a few and seen silvers pulled on most outings.
