I was very limited for time today but I did want to get out and get a little fresh air and take a break from packing ! We are moving 2 hrs south soon. It is amazing how I feel pressed for time now here in Bangor. I have all these places I want to pass a coil over. They are not nessacarily prime spots but when you are leaving and realize you may not get a chance to hunt them they seem to increase in Importance. Today was a small grown up intown lot that used to have a house on it. I Knew It was going to be Very junky so it was not a high priority spot but it is very close to home so I hit it today for two hours. Made a few finds besides all the trash . My first decent find was the 1941 french franc. Then 2 V nickels in the same hole an 1898 and a 1906 at first I thought I was seeing things but the 1898 was painted red at some point ?? Then I got a signal that almost blew my headphones ! The WW II 50 cal . I think this and the Franc were war keepsakes brought back from Europe. The shell was fired and the slug has rifiling marks on it, Then I picked up a 1952 wheatie. my last find was the furniture hardware decoration, the rest of the coins I found were clad. I could spend alot more time on this lot if I had it !! Thanks for looking . MaineRelic.
