Been a long time since I've had a four silver day. Just received permission a few days ago to search a lot where a trailer home sat from 1950 to 1995. Not old by hobby standards, but I figured I would give it a go. Was out to the place by 7:30, and started the hunt. Was digging garbage and clad, when I got a good silver hit and dug the 1951 Roosevelt. A little bit later, along came the 1937 Merc. Somewhere a short time later I pulled the lipstick tube and pocket watch from the depths of the dirt. I had only been there about 2 hours, when the 1956 Roosevelt decided to set my detector off. I then found the Good Luck token with the homeowners name on it and her age stating she was 23. This woman was born in 1927, and the tag would have been made around 1950 making her around 90 if she was alive today. Also found the 1979 Rabies dog tag. Getting near the end of my hunting time for this morning, I decided to make one more pass before going home. I'm glad I did, because that's when the 1944 Walking Lib Half showed up. Haven't found one of these since last November. I still have about 1/4 of this lot left to search, and will be back there soon. Don't ever overlook the small places. They can hold some nice little treasures. No in situe pictures today, as my phone is at home and I'm at my daughters celebrating her 31rst Birthday. She was good enough to post the pics with her phone. Good hunting to all.

Nice hunt and some great keepers. I would never have thought an old trailer lot would be so productive.

great finds, just proves you don't know where the good stuff can be found. I hunt mainly the easier to get to places now because of my health and still manage to pull out something here and there but I have to wade through the trash. congrats for sure:icon_thumright:

Congrats on the silver quad, with a biggie to boot. Such a rush when a whopper silver breaks the surface. 8-)

Yeah, that's fun right there. Did you get a big goofy smile on your mug? I would have. Wonderful hunt scoring all that silver. Well done.

Nice hunt and some great keepers. I would never have thought an old trailer lot would be so productive.
I did not expect that either, but its in a 1940's area of town. I have passed this place thousands of times in the last 28 years that I have lived and worked in town. I have without a doubt worked older places and found a lot less in one outing. I just saw the owner out cutting the grass last week and thought "what the heck" I'll ask him and see. It worked out very nicely, and I will be back to finish it up in the next weekend or two.
