Detector(s) used
Fisher F70 with 11"DD coil, CZ-21 with 10" coil, Fisher 1265X
Primary Interest:
All Treasure Hunting
I worked in this town for a few months back in 2003. As soon as I saw this place I wanted to detect it. Its a mansion that sits on an entire city block with these huge trees that just beckon the treasure hunter. I wish I could post some picture of it but there are too many people that would recognize it. Of course, it turns out the owner will not let anyone detect there. Fast forward to the present and I get a new boss at work who just happens to be from this town. I ask him if he knows the owner. My boss responds "Do I know him, he's #2 on my speed dial!" Well my boss told got me permission to detect there and it was everything I hoped. Unfortunately there were so many good targets and so much ground to detect I had to start cherry picking in order to cover it all. There is no telling what still sits in the ground there but at least I scored big.

Nice finds and great story!

I would love to see close ups of the big silver!

Super finds!!! :icon_thumleft:
 

"I bet there is more keep hitting it"

Right now its a one day only deal. I hate to be too much in debt to my boss by asking for more. Here's better pics of the half.

Take the boss out to lunch and then ask about going back! :wink:
 

MAN....... you gotta freakin love a shot at a place like that! Even if it was a one day deal.... Maybe later???? I don't think anyoone ELSE is getting in there anytime soon!!! HAHA! GREAT FINDS!!! :notworthy: :notworthy:
 

WOW! Very nice haul! I would say there's plenty more to be recovered out there!
 

awesome! I hope you get to hit that place again :headbang: :headbang:
 

Great finds and way to get the permission for that spot. :thumbsup: Love those walkers, eh? It's always amazing that coins that big and worth that much back in the day got lost, but, I guess you said it was a mansion.
 

that one is real sweet. I'd get it graded and slabbed
 

good night - that is a sweet site! and yes, i would be there everyday if i could.
 

Congrats... Got to love a boss like that ;D Great Finds!
 

I'd try my best to talk to the owner as much as possible and get a good report going so you can go back again soon.
