Large Cent * Civil War Token * Silver Quarter

[E-Trac-Ohio]

A few days ago I hunted the yard of a house that was built in the 1870's.
The land owner told me that no one has lived in the house for over 15 yrs. but he still mows the lawn.
He also said that someone else had detected the yard a few years ago and that "I probably wouldn't find anything".
Only had time to hunt the front and side yards - 90 degrees out.
Plan on going back and hunting the very large backyard next week.

E-Trac, you had an excellent outing! The C.W. token is really neat. Wonder if a previous home owner was a C.W. vet?

You did extremely well for a yard where you "probably wouldn't find anything". Congrats on all the finds, but especially the CW token. I've only ever found one. I think they are very cool little bits of history.

I think I'm changing my mind on hunting yards!! Some good finds!

Everyone has the types of places they like to hunt the best.
I've always focused on old Home sites, Vacant lots where old homes were, Church's, one room School sites, etc.
I know a lot of people make fantastic finds in Fields and on Beaches but I rarely hunt these types of sites.

The horse and rider on this Token are actually a image of the statue of George Washington on a horse that's in Union Square, New York City.
