Best hunt in a LONG time!!

[Pennsylvania Treasures]

Get ready for a TON of pictures because you're going to see a lot!

It all started yesterday my dad and I planned on going out west of us for the day and we're going to go ask permission at old houses we saw on the way. It was TERRIBLE. People said no, people weren't home, and we were running out of digging time. Until... We saw this nice big old house from the road with a HUGE front yard! We got out in hope for a yes since we hadn't even touched the metal detectors yet. The owner was super nice and said yes! He had also told us that a guy in his 20's was here before us and Found a few cuff buttons and a old tin whistle. Anyways we started hitting the yard and I wasn't finding much until my dad called me over to his hole...he found a 1727-176? KGII! His first copper! After that the finds started flooding in. I I Then found a nice old beautiful dandy button, a 1879 Indian in great shape, a unknown date fatty Indian, and a Tombac button! We then had to leave but we went back today! Since my dad found a copper yesterday and I haven't even found my first yet I was hoping I would find one today! I started swinging and for a while I hadn't found much until BAM! I found my first copper!!! A 1805 Draped Bust Half Cent!!! Finds after that consisted of a 1865 3 Cent Nickel, a 1750's Blowhole button, and another Tombac! It was a amazing 2 days and I will be going back again just to check if I missed anything! Here come the pictures!

Very nice finds. Pretty country with green grass and trees. All desert here but we have a lot of homesteads with relics.

Very nice finds. You have a wide variety of sweet old coins. The three cent nickel is a hard one to find. Congrats on making me jealous!

WOw, using dozer's to dig. No wonder you had a hard time finding people to say, Yes!

That and when you refill the holes, I'll be the edges are a little rough. LOL

Nice finds!

Super great finds! I wonder how long ago the guy in his 20s was detecting that yard, and how long he was there. He obviously didn't find it all!

Awesome finds!! Lots of potential....ya just might take the homeowner a half rack of beer or a jug of whiskey. If he doesn't drink...a smoked turkey!! Doesn't hurt to suck up a little. We did that with a ranch foreman and now we can go in on the place whenever we ask!! Just a thought

 

[Inches from Insanity]

Way to go!!!! Those finds are impressive!!!!

How do you pull out a copper 1879 coin in such good condition? Great outing, well done.
