Detector(s) used
Minelab Sovereign,Ace 250,White's DFX, custom made waterproof detector
I got permission yesterday to search a house that has made my mouth water for a long time.It is an abandoned farm house I can't ever remember anyone living in it or ever seeing anyone around it.That is until yesterday while I was going by I noticed an older man on a tractor going through the yard.I went back and pulled in and said my hellos and asked if he owned the house.He said he did and I preceded to ask if I can detect it.He said go ahead but it had been detected before.They said the house was built in the 1860's and no one has lived in it since the 1950's.Unfortunately it is scheduled to be demolished this coming Monday.Anyways tonight on the side of the house I found an 1887 Indian head penny about 6" down using my White's 4900dl max cause my Eagle II SL passed away yesterday on me....lol.My oldest coin before this was a 1901 Indian.

Go Back...Coins have a way of disappearing in a house. They will show themselves once it's torn down. Congrats on the Injun...HH
