Patience Patience Patience pays off at late 1890's house. Contest Winner Too...
Went down to Hinsdale this morning in hopes of getting permission at a tear down.
Got there at 8:00am to see the person in charge was just arriving.
Introduced myself and asked about detecting.
She said that she already is allowing a guy named Steve to detect.
So I waited a bit by going to the big island in between the streets and detected there.
Found 2 dog tags and a 1932D penny.
Went back to the house for awhile and stood around talking.
I asked her, If he doesn't show can I go a head. She said I'll call him...
She called and left a message. In the mean time I went over to a park for an hour and got nothing.
Went back to the house and she said that he might show...So I left.
I drive 2 blocks and parked at a triangle park and my phone rings....
He's not going to make it so you can go for it....
Back to the house we go....
It's now 11:00......3 hours later....beautiful weather....wasted away on a no shower.....
Took about 2 swings and pulled a 1907 Barber Dime out.....
10 minutes later it's RAINING
I stuck it out.....
Stayed til 1:30 cause I had to be home.....
It turned out to be a good short hunt...
I got a trifecta with silver dimes.
