Large cents, Indian, newer silver and lots of wheats and clads

[daytondigger]

Actually these are this Labor Day weekend's finds, but I tore apart the study or din or......hobby room, what ever you want to call it, and just got the computer and scanner and everything else back up. Started out at a couple abandoned homes nearby and was getting a non stop beep..beep...beep from my CZ-5 every time I turned it on. I thought it was toast, went back home and took a look at it, and it worked fine. Went back to same homes and it did it again. Some sort of interferance from the power lines I suppose. Then I checked out an old dump where I found a teens wheat and a token just scratching around for old bottles. It was full of buried metal and just too impractical to detect. Then I remembered a coworker telling me about a really old farmhouse being torn down to make room for more condos. I was closeby, so I drove out to look. Old gate open, no signs and recently bulldozed. The site contained a lot of trash, but I soon found a 44 Washington quarter and a couple pennies. I headed closer to where the house sat and in between numerous large target responses I got a good hit. Right there on the surface scraped up by the dozer was the 1848 large cent. I also dug an 1853 large cent and an 1879 Indian. Next day I went back to my old reliable picnic site and scored 4 rosies, a merc, 14 wheats and lots of clad.

Pretty sweet couple LC's. 8) I would take those over all the silver. Such nice condition.

Very good call to go back. Those bulldozed sites can be a real challenge.

Looks like that '44 might have a die crack adding to its character. WTG

Nice finds I think I see some early silver (1800's) on the menu. Perhaps if you have a smaller coil you might be able to avoid some of the metal being detected. Then again, I have detected some heavy metal dumping areas and found some great buttons in the the mix. HH M

Yeah, I've been using my little 5 inch coil, I even took a garden rake today and raked up some of the surface junk. I don't seem to have silver on the menu here. What few places that I can get a coil close to the ground have been hit hard by me.
