Ive drove past this vacated 1890's house several times for 10 years i decided to go by it today an take a look. It seems not only was it gone but it was burned down :(. There was a sign for a new strip mall though so i made the call. The owners a lawfirm he said just dont touch any of the construction materials in the old shed dig as deep as you want. We were having on an off showers so i only was able to get out for about an hour. But what ive found is promising.

It had a sheet metal roof so clearing this will take a bit not set for clearing until early october.

You can see the other berm on the other side an the well is hard to make out in the middle.

If you got a 1966 quarter out of that there must be silver there! They stopped making those in 1964 so keep trying!

I believe your 'freedom' token is a newer arcade token.

Keep looking! I bet you can't wait until they start moving dirt around??

You got permission from a lawyer? Nice! The last time I tried that, (he was the owner of a 1916 home in the middle of town under going renovations) he gave me an emphatic No! and began citing all kinds of liability issues. Shoulda known. Good luck at that site!

This site has a lot of promise. Hit that place as much as you can for as long as you can before it's gone!

Maybe you could bring a push mower so you can get your coil closer to the ground near where the house stood. There has to be some old coins that rolled off the front porch :)
