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.

"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.

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.

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.
