Headed over to the street tear up in my town again after I got off work.
When a place is producing, always return.
Was there about 5 minutes when I got a deep IH signal and a higher tone signal to.
I knew there would be an IH and wheatie in the hole.
I had to dig through a bunch of roots and the first coin out was an 1898 IH then out came a 1910 wheat
checked the hole again and got an IH signal Bam !! another IH (1901) and then 3 more wheats 1910 1911 and a 1919.
They were about 6-7 inches deep and it took me 5 minutes to dig them out but it was worth it.

Right after that I was talking to an older lady who lives in the house. She asked if I had found anything and I told her what I have been finding. She said that there were a few other people doing that about a week ago. I told that they must have cleaned out all the trash for me and left the good stuff behind...She laughed about that. We chit chatted for a while about her brother who looks for gold in the mountains and then I went on my way.

Saturday while my friend and I were there a neighbor of Kimsdad stopped by and asked if I was Bob. He said he knew Neil (Kimsdad ) and that he hunted the area already. That must be who she was talking about.

Ended the hunt about an hour later with a little TREASURE CHEST with a 1947 Rosie next to it.....

Also found a complete toy gun

Thanks for looking...... " I'll be back "

Nice going Bob, you've had some single days there that outdid my whole neighborhood hunts for this year in the sidewalk tearouts. I'd be surprised if there weren't any other posses out there hitting that work by now.

Now, I need some cross street references! Ones you haven't hit yet!
