I had a few hours this afternoon and decided to head up to this old barn hole up the street from my house.
In the past this site has given up quite a few Indian head pennies a barber dime and a few mercs. real close to this hole is a old spring that was very popular up until the 1960's then people lost interest and the main rd has way more traffic now.
anyways i didn't think i was gonna find much since i been to this spot numerous times.
i bumped up my gain and worked slowly. first coin was a 1928 wheatie. then a old decorative gas line surfaced.over by a huge rock i got a nice signal shallow jumpin from penny/dime to quarter.
stuck the shovel in and hit a flat rock peeled back the 2 inches of sod and saw silver.another one stuck into the side of hole.grabbed them 2 silvers and scanned again... more! a wheatie and another silver dime. a nice little 4 coin pocket spill.
then a brass put and take game spinner.this is the 3rd one i found.all are different but same design.they were popular in the 1920's.
then later workin the old trail where most of the IH's came out of. i got a deep screwcap/penny reading at 6 + inches expecting another bullet casing i popped out a worn 1872 IH.
got home looked in the book ahh 80 cents in G-4 did a double take.wait a second thats $80.00 in G-4! i don't know if its a key or semi-key date?
not a bad 4 hour hunt.
hopefully tomorrow whether i go with mike or jesse i can pull a big copper.i feel so overdue in that dept!
my take for today
1872 Ih
1935 & 1944 mercs
1946-S rosie
1928 & 1944 wheaties
