My son and I got out pretty early this morning and hit a vacant lot.
Most of the time, these lots are nothing more than trash pits.
Today turned out to be a bit different.
Here is a picture of both our finds together.
My son absolutely killed it with 1 mercury dime, 2 Roosevelt dimes, a Walker half and
a Gold Coin inside a bezel!
My finds were less impressive but respectable. A single Silver ball and a Jr. G Man badge. Not pictured
After we got home, we cleaned up the gold coin and removed it from the bezel. The back side of the coin was blank with the word Italy stamped in it!
Oh well, maybe next time the gold will be real! Still, the day was cold but the finds were pretty hot giving us a high we won't soon forget!
Happy hunting everyone!
