Went out for a 3 hour hunt(kinda turned in to 5 hours 
) You all know how that goes. Worked a 1920's home down the street from where we have been pounding several older homesteads. Started out with a 49 wheatie and a bunch of clad. Not too promising yet. Moved into the center of the yard and in one hole I found 3 lighters at about 4 inches. Two are from Japan and one from Germany. Strange find right there.
Don went on further towards the front of the yard and just as the neighbor walked up to check out what we were doing, he dug a hole and the glint of silver finally arrived. A 59 Rosie. The neighbor was excited for us, said goodluck and went back home before I could even ask to do his yard. But I will get that permission soon enough. We still had work to do on the rest of the yard.
Not more than 30 feet away and the very next plug I found my first silver of the day, a 1953 Rosie. That one rang out so loud it nearly blew my ears off. I like that!
In the same stretch of turf I moved up a few more feet and out pops a 1942 Merc. Now that got me pumped up. Don was going in the other direction in the same path and found the Northern Indiana Transit token. I believe dated to around 1940-1956. He also found an older ladies compact from a company named Coty. We did manage a huge pile of clad in this yard with only a few wheats, the oldest being a 1940. Nothing major old but still a great 3 hours .... Hopefully you are all grabbing up some treasure this week. Goodluck out there and be safe.
