I followed a hunch that I had about this yard and finally got up the nerve and tracked down the owner and asked permission. No problem, he just asked if I would show him what I found. I almost got discouraged because he told me that they put about 2 inches of black dirt on the yard to level it out. The other day after work I thought I would give it a try. The first little corner of the front yard had nothing but clad and my hopes started to fade, then I crossed the sidewalk to the bigger part and started working my way to an old tree. I got my first deep signal and out came a 1909 Barber dime, sweet!! About 10 feet away I got another deepy, a 1902, then the closer I got to the tree I started digging Injun after Injun all around the base of the tree, I wonder if anyone heard me giggling like a little kid. As I made my second pass across this part of the yard I got another deepy and this time it was the 1914d Barber, OH YEAH!!! As I got close to the sidewalk again I got one that sounded good but not as deep as the Barbers, a 1928 Merc. 4 silver in an hour and a half and I hadn't even made a dent in the yard yet. I stayed there for another hour or so hoping for a dime trifecta but it was not to be, I ended up with 8 IHs 2 '98s, 2 '05s, 2 '00s a '93 and a '06. 4 wheats a '21s, '16d, '13, and a '25 and two tokens, I don't have one in the pic because I didn't realize it was a token till I took a better look at it. It turned out to be a Colorado tax token. The one in the pic is for a store that was in Pender Nebr.
I went back to the yard that I hunted the other day and I was not disappointed. This has to be, by far, the best yard I have ever hunted. I got there at about 6:30 this morning and hunted till about noon and had to leave because the tenants were putting on a rummage sale. I ended up with 2 Barber quarters, a '94 and a '97, 2 more Barber dimes, a'08d and a '05, a '04 V nickel and 4 more IHs 2 '98s an '00 and a '01 and 9 more wheats. I went back after supper but the rummage was still going on so I headed down the street and hit a parking and got the 47d Rosey, a '35 Buffalo and a couple more wheats. It's been a good day. Thanks for looking and HH.

Here are some pics of everything so far after some olive oil and a rinse.
