Got a chance to go back to the Main Street house Wednesday. It was a little frosty to start, but it warmed up fast so the weather is finally cooperating. I spent 4.5 hours swingin the CZ slowly and carefully trying to ensure I don’t miss any goodies. Of course as usual there were bits of can slaw, aluminum siding, tabs, nails and other items not worth putting in the picture.
I ended up with 47 coins with a face value of $1.79, a bulldozer made by Lesney in England, 2 military shell casings (SL 54, FA 52), the center part of an old hand held pencil sharpener, an old brass house number, an old pocket knife or grooming tool (rusty guts with a brass shell), a cheapy catholic medal, a 1920 dog tax tag, a fake $10 gold piece, 1936 merc, 1881 IHP, aluminum play money dime and a shankless flat button.
I also found another field of wheat pennies. 13 in this batch dated 1911, 16D, 19, 20, 20, 20, 25, 42, 44, 49, 51, 51, 55D. That makes 35 wheats from this yard and about 30% are 100 or more years old.
I really like the knife/grooming tool. It is very ornate, but eaten up by the soil. I enjoy finding the dog tax tags. This one is a very different shape. They seem to pop up frequently in the yards in town. I found a 1936 in the yard next door last year.
The fake gold coin is in terrible shape and did not fool me like the last one did. It would be nice if I could find a real gold coin, but so far only 2 fakes. Well I will keep looking, I know there is one out there for me somewhere. I just have to keep swingin.
The flat button is the oldest thing to come out of this yard so far. It still has some gold gilt front and back and is marked BEST DOUBLE GILT. Too bad the shank is gone.
It was a good day and I got the IHP and silver I was hoping for. The wide variety of finds makes for an interesting day and adds to the fun.
Thanks for looking and may your coil lead you to good things.
