1800'S HOME FINDS FROM MARCH THRU JULY

I recently posted pic's of an 1876 sheild nickel that I found in my back yard. I didn't realize just how much I had dug to find it until I spread everything out an looked at it today. I will tell you a little bit about my home ( as much as I know anyway). The oldest Plat map I have seen so far is 1893 and it show the house sitting right where it is today so I am sure it is at least that old. It also burned down sometime early in the 20th century but I do not know exactly when. They had an incubator in the kitchen for chicken eggs and someone laid a newspaper on top of it an it caught the house on fire. I have included some pic's of the roof in the attic. You can see where they used some of the burned lumber from the fire as sheeting when they rebuilt the roof. One of my finds was a temperature guage from an incubator...could be the one that burned the house??

I have only had my ACE250 since march and I am still learning how to use it. I don't know exactly how many hours I have hunted this yard but I am about 1/2 way thru my second set of batteries. I am really disappointed that I have not found more older coins. Aside from the 1876 nickel and a 1950 Rosie it has all been clad and not very much of that. Enjoy the pic's and thanks for looking.

That's pretty much the same that I found around my house, minus the nickel and dime.

I am sorta surprised that none of the "Iron Brigadiers" have chimed in yet! they would have a party in your yard. You should invite them out for a party and tell them, you can have all the iron you can dig. Then you can get a larger search coil and really clean up the coins! I love artifacts also, but in moderation only........ Not GE

LOL! RECYCLE that iron!


Contrary to popular belief, we're not out for iron--but brass, copper, silver, and gold. But yes, we do dig a lot of iron.



Nice work! I got a Nickel "needle in a haystack" of iron too once:

That haul is amazing. I would vote you the most dedicated digger on TN. I don't believe you miss anything.

Man, you can definately "dig it"......I came across an old cowboy camp that had a sililar amount of junk. I found no coins until almost ALL of the iron was dug!!! Keep at it, you will prevail!
