Old Dudes' Home, You Name It, We Dug It...

I spent some time swingin' with some detectorist buds Sunday.

We hit up what is now a retirement home for the elderly and the adjacent property, now a funeral home.

Both are late 1800's buildings.

The first four holes I dug produced coins...
A Memorial, a Stinkin' Lincoln, a Penny and then an 1892 Barber Dime

Later in the day I dug a 1964 Rosie and a few Wheaties 1928, 1937 and 1952...

Then popped out this button that reads, something

Orange London

Followed by an 1890 IH, a bit "barked up" but a clear date.

After that a lead seal with a "C" on it... This was the only one I dug but the other guys dug quite a few.

Then some Whatchamacallits were un-earthed...

Of course some clad found it's way under my coil as well, mostly 1960's...

Then lastly a large spherical lead ball... "chewed" on three sides, it has the diameter of a quarter... not really sure what it is. Sorry no pic... Some grape shot perhaps

My fellow hunters dug two Barber Dimes, a 1900 Barber Half, a 1927? Standing Liberty Quarter, an 1875 Seated Liberty Dime, a 1960 Rosie, a silver men's ring, numerous buttons, Wheaties and IH's.

They did have the benefit of hunting the site one more day then me... lucky guys

Thanx for lookin' boys and gurls!

Maybe they get a discount...

I dunno but if you saw how the buildings were situated, you'd understand that the old dudes' probably don't even notice the funeral parlor

I live across from a cemetary, I don't even notice it, my morale is very good, lovin' life
