Today I had one of my best Dirt Fishing days so far. The 1893 house I was hunting sets on about one Acre of land, so there’s lots of ground to cover. I’ve hunted the yard on 3 different days, probably about 12 hours of actual hunt time altogether. Up until today the only high value coins I’ve found was the 1926 D Standing Liberty Quarter I found yesterday and a 1944 D Wheat penny. Today I hit the Bonanza, in one 10 ft by 10 ft area I found 1899 Barber Half Dollar (the first one I’ve ever found), another Standing Liberty Quarter (1917), a Barber Dime (1905), a Buffalo Nickel (1918), and another Wheat Penny (1917 D). I was having a ball after I found the first coin, the Barber Dime, then I started scanning around close to where I found the Barber Dime and got another signal that turned out to be the Baber Half Dollar, then another Standing Liberty Quarter, and then the Buffalo Nickel. I can’t get over finding the Half Dollar, what a find, and all the Silver coins are in very good condition.
