Hi everyone.
On September 24, I went metal detecting at an old abandonned house, built in the early 1940's. The last time I had been there was in February, 2010, and can be seen on Recovering Relics Episode #6. I started off hunting the front yard. Right away I got a nickel/pull-tab reading at 4 inches deep. When I dug down, out came my first ever Buffalo Nickel! I'm not yet sure of the date. Minutes later I found the first Wheat Cent of the day. Not long after that, I found my second silver of 2011, a 1945 Mercury Dime. The Merc is in great condition and cleaned up beautifully. I went on to find several more wheat pennies, a toy gun, a spoon and fork, and two dog tags. That place gave up a lot of great finds and I will have to get back there as soon as possible to find some more old coins.
