Abandoned farm gave up silver..1866 indian..buffalo..relics

[Goes4ever]

hit an abandoned farm today was built around 1900, this place must have been virgin....

24 wheats...lol
1866 indian, one I NEEDED for my book, it is bad shape, but it still counts, only need 8 more to complete my set
1926 buffalo
1917-D merc one yr TOO NEW!!!, can you imagine if it had been a 16-D, no one would believe me..lol
milk token
assorted relics, I have NO IDEA what the old man smoking the pipe is?? It is my favorite find of the day, came up like a wheat penny at 5" and it was almost 12" deep! It looks like a small ashtray possibly? Whatever it is, I love it!

I only dug 9 clad coins one was a 1940 nickel, I dug everything above iron, I was there 4 hours and only went across it one way, I was beat, NO shade, 100% sun. Sweating like a pig. I will hit it again in another direction another day, it is abandoned so I can go back anytime. I can't believe 24 wheats and one stinking silver, that really screws up my wheat to silver ratio..lol

That ashtray-looking thing is a great display piece for the odd junk silver you find. /jealous...

nice assortment of goodies Goesforever, you may want to put the old man with the pipe in the what is it thread, truly a very unique find there

Hey! You got one silver! That's a great day in my book! On one day last month I dug 16 wheaties and no silver! When you return next time you ratio will be set to normal, you'll probably dig two or three silvers!

Oh, by the way, it was 56 degrees in San Francisco when I hunted last Saturday! Just a little chilly!

That is some cool stuff! I hope I can post something like this soon.
Great finds!

The ratio may not be that great, but its still a great day in my book. I had $1.70 in clad and two, 50's wheat cents. You win!!
