Old Homesite Finds (Updated)

[camb1]

Went to look at a old homesite just a 1/2 mile from my home. This is what I found in kitchen sink base in a old tin can. I was not able to detect today due to not having time, but will soon. This homesite I believe was burnt down in early 1960's

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

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
I'm sure you guys will have it cleaned out before next season.

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

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.

Went back today for about 1 hour due to it started raining. T-Bucket found a Very Nice 1943 Liberty Half Dollar.

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.
