Ohio trip

[goldencoin]

I went to Ohio to visit my grandparents. They were nice and helped to track down some excellent spots to metal detect. I was amazed at how old all the sites were, going back to the 1830's as opposed to 1880's for Michigan. One of the first spots was an old school house. The grounds were far too big and too trashy to do a good job. But I saw were they had dug the ground for some electrical work. It was in this that I found an excellent 1904 Barber Dime, my third this year. Later, I went to a school field that didn't look terribly old. However, in the span of an hour, I got two musket balls, a silver pendant, a Miami Transit company token, and a junk earring- not to mention a nice pile of change. I only wish I had more time to grid.

I know you said, "Thank you." to your grandparents. Nice of them to think about, then mention some older sites
to you. They should be able to really put together a list of some nice sites for you to hunt when you visit them. (I think that
their interest really kicked in when they saw that super Barber dime you found.)
Keep us posted on what you find when you visit your grandparents......which should be considerably more times then in the past,
right?

That dime has crazy sweet detail. If you weren't far from Cleveland, let me know if you come back and want someone to hunt with. 8)
