Neighbors yard...

[Phishfarmer]

A guy a couple of houses down had a dumpster backed up to his house and was throwing out plaster and lath so I asked him if it was ok if i detected his yard. He said yes. I found 54 coins in a couple of hours almost all of them Lincolns. Oddly I didn't find any wheat pennies but I found an 1888 Indian head and a 44 Merc.

Also found a three ringer, a couple of percussion caps and a long bar of pure lead that had been twisted into a curly-cue on the end. The ornamental looking thing with a flower design on it is also lead.

Just stuff but it was fun.

''The ornamental looking thing with a flower design on it is also lead.''

Are you sure? That would be very unusual & the picture doesn't look lead. I agree they 'might' of made this 18th C piece in pewter?

And a 3 ringer? you just never know, sounds like a fun hunt in an old yard. Phishfarmer, I noticed Petersburg, VA. Seems my Great Grandfather visited there in July of 1864, but was not quite welcome it seems having been shot in the neck and shoulder at "The Crater".

I moved here not knowing the CW history. I found a few bullets in my yard and got hooked. The Crater is within musket shot of the street I live on.

Wow. That is a ton of coins. I wonder what happened to the other oldies? Great job on the Merc and IHP!

I don't know what it's made of but I can bend it easily with my hand.
