I figured this would happen.

I spent 4 hours at the freshly torn down house.
All the hype and expectation....hundreds of thousands of trash signals.......no silver.
Once I realized that this was gonna suck all day, my focus changed to finding a foreign coin, preferably an Austrian coin, and I was sure hoping it would be 1954.
Mission accomplished!

I am so not going back.

Holy crap! What are the odds of finding the exact coin you are looking for?

That is pretty darn impressive.

The force is strong within you. Concentrate on gold.

Some days just turn out that way Dave. Seems to be more often than not for me lately. At least you got one keeper out of there.

[flatbutton]

HA! Congrats on marking that one off your bucket list

 

[WHADIFIND]

Welp, all I can say is that you did better on your "skunk city" then I did on my return trip to mine.

At least you have a plug for your list bucket's hole.

Congrats?

Ya know.....of all the things I've lost, that's what I miss the most. My mind.

You can almost bet that the place you think will be the mother lode will be the place that has nothing but trash and vice versa.

 

[Calabash Digger]

Good thing al your dreams come true,eh?! You made me laugh!!!

I feel your pain I have picked up so much crap and pop tops these parks are super trashy around here and lots of iron like someone sprinkled iron bits all over.I got to the point I was swinging too fast cause its frustrating.Thanks for the post!!!!

 

[JerseyDigger19]

LOL. At least you didn't get your heart destroyed by the 1 schilling type. It's gold, and about the size of a quarter, and was 7 inches down for me, I was like YES YES YES YES HALF EAGLE YES YES YES... what is this? 1966 austrian schilling.... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

 

[BigWaveDave]

In fact, that has happened to me too....
My father in law has a place in MD, the woods behind his house for some crazy reason had this....


Yup, almost had a stroke when I first saw it.

 

[scavanau]

Congratulations?!?

 

[Msbeepbeep]

Hey the detector is working and you were able to get out there and swing it! Congrats!

There is something there, things just weren't lined up right.
.....now if i could talk to you about some lottery numbers...

 

[BigWaveDave]

Nah, not worried about this place. The house burnt to the ground, place was a total cluster. Once it was leveled and cleaned out, a hot mess of trash was left behind. The fact that I wanted to hit it, it was built in 1925.... There are so many other places, this one is done with.
No doubt there is some goodies mixed in there, but I don't need them that bad.
