I saw an old farmhouse that was being torn down nearby and went and asked for permission to hunt. This was the 1st time I have asked for permission and he was very nice and gave me the go ahead. Turns out that he had already scraped the area and dragged a bunch of garbage across most of the property - the ground was an explosion of sound. All I found was a clad dime and a bunch of garbage. After a few hours of this I decided to go check out a park that once had a stone quarry in it. I went exploring and found the area but didn't detect that area - something to come back to. On my way out I went through a groomed area and hunted for a couple minutes and came across the 1908 barber dime. Went back again to this area today for a couple hours and only found a wheat. The other wheats and the Indian came from a few older park areas on another hunt. The Indian cleaned up pretty good with peroxide but it has that crust on the front that won't budge. HH!

Nice work! The more you ask, the easier it'll be to hear "yes!"

Cheers,
