Re: Old Homesite Finds

Holy Cow!!! 5 Mercurys. What an awesome day. You gotto go back & look some more, looks like your'e the first to go their....Congrats......
 

Re: Old Homesite Finds

Nice silver. What is the coin in the middle? Token? Looks like it says Missouri tax receipt on it.
 

Re: Old Homesite Finds

Well I'd say since you found silver without the detector...there is probably much more to come out of there. Probably better wait until a couple of others can come with you...namely me and G ;D
I'm sure you guys will have it cleaned out before next season.
 

Re: Old Homesite Finds

The center coin is a 1930's Sales Tax Token.

Re: Old Homesite Finds

I did not know this homesite was there. I saw someone this spring digging flowers in the woods on my way home from work. I went to check it out and found a foundation and several appliances laying around the area. There is what I believe to be a storm cellar there also. It is in a mound of dirt that I think might be covering the entrance.
 

Re: Old Homesite Finds

If I found 5 Merc's at one site, I would definitley go back. There is definitely more silver there. Good luck.
 

Re: Old Homesite Finds

They were in a tin can? You found a CACHE, you know!! Definitely hit that place again! COOL.
 

Re: Old Homesite Finds

Re: Old Homesite Finds

Do you think the site is detectable? Is it someplace you have permission to dig? Keep us posted!

T-Bucket found a '43 Half? Wow! Detecting?

Lets see some pics!
 

Re: Old Homesite Finds

Very nice! I see lots of Mercs, and not so many tax tokens (none so far), so I think that's cool.
 

Added T-Buckets Picture of Liberty Half.
