Old churchyard coins

[CTXAgGetter]

The grass (weeds) is too tall at my new favorite spot, so I spent 30 minutes going over my front yard while waiting to hear back about a new permission. Found an 1889 IHP and a few early wheats. You'd think that after 3 years of detecting, there should be nothing in your own front yard. For shame.



Also tried to smash this Junior G Man badge in half while resurrecting it from the depths.



Got the text back from the old church turned new business that I could come detect their yard. The good stuff I found there is included in this pic of my day's finds.



The better coins, obverse....



and reverse.



The folks at this new business buy and flip/rent old houses in town... so, I am trying to establish a relationship with them that will hopefully get me on some old spots... with them doing the heavy lifting!

Thanks for looking! GL and HH!

Looks like some very nice coins. I like the G man badge also. I found one myself about 20 years ago.

Thanks, yep. We have more of a sandy soil here in places than many of the other towns around. I like digging here a whole lot better than many other places. Quite fortunate in that regard!

Thank you! It's funny... I had to snap a pic and send it right away to my digging buddy, who found one in HIS front yard just a few weeks ago!
