Had some time today and knocked on a door that I have passed many times out near Howell. Guy was really cool and mentioned it had been hit before but allowed me to go ahead. All from 1 yard over about a 3 hour period!
1837 Canadian Half Penny Bank Token, 1859 Canadian Large Cent, 1891 Indian, 2 Mercs (1943 and 191?), 4 Wheats (1916, 42D, 44D, 53D) Sterling Cub Scout ring and a few relics. Beautiful day today!:icon_sunny:

Just out of curiosity, why today, and why there? Was there any history?


Today - because I'm on vaca, There - just drove by. Property owner has lived there 34 years and said it was a big dairy farm back in the day and roughly 125 years old. He also said that there was log cabin on the property before the home was built.

Awesome yard B! Nice silvers and large coins, I see you got a heel plate. I've dug those and never considered what they were until recently. Nice yard and it paid to stop and knock, congrats!

What a outstanding day, I have to agree w/ MJC that you might have to ask if you can hit that yard again sometime as I bet there's more there.
