Construction Site Is One of The Best Places I've Ever Hunted!!

In my 30 years of metal detecting I've never quite found a place like this! I made my 6th trip to the "Field of Dreams" and scored big time again! The first thing I noticed on arriving was the huge area where fresh dirt was spread out from bulldozers. The area I had worked and cleaned out the the last 5 trips had new dirt put on top. The dirt was light & fluffy, you could literally dig a 8 inch hole in 3 seconds! Wheaties and Indian Head Pennies were coming up, a gorgeous Barber Dime dated 1912-S comes up.Wheat Pennies were numerous, I dug 26! Dug two sterling silver rings, a silver Chinese "Thingy", and another Barber Dime, this one was a 1912-S! Near the second
Barber Dime were two silver quarters, a 41-S & a 42-S! A 1926 Buffalo Nickel and 2 Indian Head pennies dated 1890 & 1899 were found in the same area. Total coins were 179! Also dug up 3 silver Roosevelt Dimes & eyeballed some more marbles! I still have more ground to cover on my next trip, these construction crews are still moving around dirt! I'll be back!

101 wheat Pennies
5 Indian Head Pennies, 1907, 1881, 1904, 1890, 1899

I would ask them where they are getting that dirt too. Good amount of finds coming from somewhere.

CHF, You can do better with a metal detector than Jesse James could with a .45.
Congrats on the superb detecting.
