Construction struction whats your function ?

Producing old coins is the answer !
Hi all.. A couple of days ago I noticed another street being tore out. Not wasting anytime when the crew had left I
parked on the east side of street. I noticed someone getting out of a truck on the west side..didnt think much until
I saw they had detector in hand. After a few minutes I approached them and introduced myself. Turns out it was
MarkinIA who has a few posts on TNET.

We talked for a while ,and after detecting compared finds. Later on he left while I continued until dark!

Saturday I contacted macemann66,a buddy who unfortunately digs most of the silver from places LOL
Anyhow I wanted to see what he could pull out of the place,and he tore the silver up as you can see from his
post.

We both had alot of fun at this site. I was the only to dig any Nickels..kinda strange,and I dug a bunch of them!

As far as finds heres a list of mine.
Indianheads (half a 1866) 1878,1881,1890,1897,1900,1907
Shield Nickels 1867 with rays,1867 without rays, (2 with no date)
V-Nickels 1883 with cents,1907, (1 with no date)
Buffalo 1936-D
1945 War Nickel
Dimes Seated 1887-S,Barber 1903
Several old wheatbacks also

Several nice buttons,some shot,and a huge bullet that measures 3/4 in.diameter by 1in. hollowed center with
two lines around bottom.

Hey Jazdo it sure was nice meeting you that night. I see that you ended up with some nice finds from that street tear out. I knew I should of went back the next night and worked that street real slow, but it's good that you guys were able to go back and get somemore goodies.

Thur night I found a 1912D Barber dime, a rosie, "3" Ih's 1874, 1890,1891, "4" wheats and a token from the " Prospect House " good for 5 cent.

let me know if they are going to tear out any more street.

Nice selection of old coins there! Congrats!
And very wise of you to recognized the short "window of opportunity", and take advantage of it!
Hope you can get some more out of there.
And don't forget to pay attention, or try to ask the crew, what street they're doin' next!

 

[drodda777]

Some nice finds there Jazdo! Way to seize the moment and take advantage of the small window of opportunity. Not bad for a couple hicks from Iowa?

Keep it low and slow,

Not bad finds for Iowa. I detected for many years West of Des Moines about 30 miles or so,and it seems there are
more old coins atleast in quantity being close to Illinois. Also the town is larger.

I still have found same variety of types of coin goin from town of 400 to town of almost 20 grand.
