1909S and 1909 VDB on my mind. Updated 11-19-2008

crazyjarhead · Nov 14, 2008

Dear Fellow members. Today turned out to be pretty mild for November. Having had some rain, the ground was primed for the taking. I was able to get a short hunt in as I was busy fixing my son's girlfriends car for most of the day. So I ran out like a storm and told the wife I was going detecting. Headed back to my new hunting spot that has turned up a 1909 Wheatie and a 1909 Indian. No S or VDB..... yet. high hopes doesn't hurt anyone. I was able to retrieve a 1941 Nickle (WAR?) a harmonic reed, a clad dime and 3 clad pennies. Also found an old light swithch plate ( I think it's old.) Then I moved to the front of the house and hit a spot on the corner of the street that hasn't been hit yet... obviously! A small pocket spill= a 1907 Indian ( worn a little) and a 1944 S Wheaties. Then a 1935, 1941, and a 1945. Had 2 more good hits, dug the hole but could not find them..... too dark. I had to quit for the night. I wonder what's in the other 2 holes. It's supposed to rain tonight and Sat. so I don't know if I'll be able to get back there Sat. Thanks for looking and HH Ron. Thanks for looking.

UPDATED 11-19-2008
Went out the day before yesterday after the rain and found 8 more wheaties. The rain sure made a difference. I found the following: 1916, 1917, 1919, 1937, 2 1944's 1945, and a 1950D. I won't post any picture today. I'm headed to California Thursday on another run. Be gone for 2 weeks. Hopefully winter won't set in too early like it already has. Be safe and HH Ron

We spent most of the time up on the hill in the back. The front yard was hit but not to the left corner. We just kind of forgot it was there I guess. It's about 12x5 strip.

Nice finds, CJH! I think your GE piece is an escutcheon from the front of a radio.

Yeah, it was mild today. I was hunting in short sleeves. And get this - the mosquitoes were out! Fortunately there were only a couple and I was able to nail 'em. :icon_sunny:

The IH looks sweet. The 1909 S is the one you want.

That house looks cool too. Thanks for the pics. Good luck.

Love the old light switch plate. There is quite a market for stuff like that. Those are the kind of relics worth keeping. Good luck as you continue to hunt this site out. :thumbsup:

Man, if only we had one house that looked like that on every block we'd all be in heaven. Pick that sucker clean.
