Folks,
Got an invite from a man at our church to hunt his 1845 house and adjacent land and made good on the offer today. There is so much potential at this site and many, many targets. We barely got to hunt today but found a few goodies. I know the really old stuff is there it will take some time cleaning out the clad and recent silver/wheats first. I lent my Ace 250 to my host and he found one hot spot with several teens wheats. I used my Explorer II. My best find for the day was a four coin pocket spill with a 64 rosie, two wheats and a memorial penny all stacked perfectly on top of each other. Found some other wheats and a slingshot dragster Matchbox car (#64 written on the bottom). All the wheats today were from the 40's.
Also, the man told me about some possible caches along an old fence row and he is going to mow that area this weekend so we can get our coils close to the ground.
Can't wait to get back to the site.
Peace,
T-man

Yes that sounds like a very good spot & you have already done better than I did on a 1892 home site. After going over it several times all I could find was a 1895 Indian & a few wheat's.
