They cleared a 40x40 lot that just had concrete on it and underneath is what looks like a old dump cause there was glass and iron and pottery everywhere there is so much iron I can’t get more than a few inches down but got my first u s belt buckle and silver coins and lots of wheats and Indian and buffalo nickels and v nickel and confederate Gardner and tons of other stiff

Wow Crabs!! Amazing what you find in the most unassuming places! Congrats inbthe belt plate, the silvers...coppers, and the beauty of a pocket watch. Looks like a time capsule, just waiting to be unearthed after being covered with concrete long ago. Congrats on an excellent hunt..Ddf.
 

Get a bottle probe in there and look for deep spots in the trash layer. Sure to be tons of great stuff.
 

Wow some dump very good score...is the back of that Eagle button the last picture London backmark ?

Hello C44. Nice finds!! Bet there is more there...I hope you can go back...keep us posted. Good Luck out there. C9
 

Congrats, looks like a good spot!

40x40 isn't that big, take a rake or a sifter in there, looks like it would well be worth the effort!

HH,
Cal
 

Congratulations!! Makes you think about all the great stuff that's covered up by so-called progress. Nice save

HH, RN
 

WOW! What an incredible day you had!
Literally a little bit of everything from Civil War to near Present day!
Defiantly go back if you can!
Congratulations!

yes, the newest coin i found was 1952
 

Congrats on those finds. :occasion14: I have a question for you though... Do all NC MDers hunt the slums and Ghettos? I have hunted with a few friends in Charlotte on several occasions and we always seemed to hunt on the other side of the tracks (if ya know what I mean). Often after the housing was removed. I've dug a few and seen silvers pulled on most outings.
 

Hahah! I just goes to show you never know Crabby!! Nice set of finds and that plate is a killer find
 

Like what you ghotto out of the ghetto can we get s picture of the kitchen sink... Wow good thinking and find . Thanks for posting Tommy
 

Excellent results.
Fighting your way through the iron really paid off
Congratulations.
