I saw the landlord raking the lawn of a large apartment building in my neighborhood Today ! This place was built in mid 1800's and I had been eyeing it for a while ! He said go ahead, I don't care if you dig an 8 foot deep hole as long as I fill it in !!! Great ! and thank you I said. Alot of trash ! It is going to take me awhile to clean up this site !! I was surprised I did not pull at least a Rosie out of here in the 3 hours I hunted ! I dug alot of signals and even when I retraced my search route there were still quite a few signals ! Pics of digs follow ! I go back tomorrow ! While I was digging up the lawn a nice woman came out of the building and asked if I collect coins and gave me these 2 cool Canadian Breast cancer awareness Quarters ! I had never seen them before! I thanked her and told her they meant more to me than anything I had found today since my sister died of breast cancer 3 years ago at the tender age of 40 ! I started crying on the spot and now I am crying again as I post this !! Bye MaineRelic. I know the pics say dug Feb 28 but this is wrong ! Forgot 2 change Tag photo date ! Dug today March 12th 2010 MaineRelic. 0 UPDATE: March 13th, Fellow T-net member HCW pointed out to me that my 1888 Indian I found yesterday looked like an 8 over 7. If so it could be a fairly valuable coin ! If it is ! I will try to sell it and donate the proceeds in honor of my sister to Breast cancer research. I will have my coin dealer look at it on Monday MaineRelic. UPdate 03/16/2010 I took the suspect 1888/8 over 7 Indian to my dealer today, at first he was intrigued by the coin but after closer examination he concluded thay it was a pushed date . Probably against a rock by the frost ! He said it just did not have any of the tell tale die anomolies associated with the 8 over 7die ! Just a ood conversation pece! Maybe next time ! MaineRelic
