50's Yard Finds

Hi all,

Some guys up the street are rehabbing a house that has been vacant for some time, so I asked if I could check the yard and they said to help myself :thumbsup:

I left and came back due to waves of rain, but managed to find a little silver in the form of a 1943 quarter :headbang:

It turned out to be silver coin #21 so far this year and my 7th silver Washington of the year. I also found my 24th hose nozzel..if anyone has found more than this, let me know..I have no idea why people in this neighborhood lose so many of the things :dontknow:

Other than the usual garden variety knicknacks (and a play money $2 bill I found on top of the ground under some trees), I found 6 wheats (1944-P, 1945-P, 1946-P, 1953-D and 2 1956-D)...my total for those so far this year is 117 :thumbsup:

Right next to one of the wheats was a Shell token from the 1960's Famous Americans coin game, which is the 18th one of those I've found :thumbsup:

Today's hunt brings my coin total this year to 1,714 :hello2:

Here's the pics of today's short hunt:

Hope you all find a little treasure this week.

Thanks...it took a while but I know how it behaves! White's even put me on one of their mailer cards because I found so much stuff with such an inexpensive machine..I search a lot of virgin ground with the older private yards, so every time I'm given permission I know I'll find a bunch of stuff.

Nice silver and wheats! I finally found my first nozzle a few weeks ago.

You're kicking butt on the silver Georges this year (and the hose nozzles, too!)!!!

Nice finds! :thumbsup:

Great finds Nat, That silver is always a great thing to see in the hole. :thumbsup:

I also have 21 silvers on the year but only one hose nozzel so far. But it was an oldie. Keep hitting those private yards and you should keep digging the older coins.

HH,

Dave

Hey Moon, no cutting when it's this wet, but I can still detect as long as I'm not hunting in the middle of a monsoon

That Prizm II must be the best detector out there. I found more stuff with that than my DFX!

Excellent job!

You don't know how many times I get a pretty nice signal and can't find what I dug up because it's so small..some targets are as small as a BB and I can hardly see them..and those wheat pennies SCREAM when I hit one.

I think they discontinued the one I have..now they start out the Prizm series with the Prizm III.
