Poppin' Silver

Hello,

I received permission to hunt this old house today. I don't really know how old it is prob 1900's house. The grass has almost grown over the front sidewalk. I can tell no one has lived hear for a while and the best thing is no one has ever
hunted the grounds!!

My first find came up as a nice 84-85. Out popped my first ever Standing Liberty Quarter. It was a 1927 no mint.

Next I found a 54 silver quarter followed by a 41D Merc. Every signal I dug was an old coin. What a great feeling that was. All in all, I did manage a record high of 6 wheat's. Years for those: 15S, 39, 39S, 45D, 46S, and a 54D.

I also dug what I thought was a shell casing but after closer look it might be a small thimble. What do you think?

Thanks for looking,
Fishstank

Thank you for all of your responses. It's raining cats and dogs here. So I will have to give that area another go.
I'll report if and when I find something.

Thanks,

Yeah, clean that place out good and if very little trash go all-metal and check the iffys. There must be more.

Re: Poppin' Silver

Back in the fourties there was a small appliance repair store next door and so far I have had little trash. The merc was an iffy signal and Im glad I dug it. The concentration of coins seem to be out in front of this huge palm tree. I still have to search the backyard more thoroughly the alley is connected to the yard and so far I've been pullin alot of nails and pop cans. Most yards I hunt the concentration of coins come from the front yard. I don't know why this is.

Thanks again.

Sweet digs man!
I don't see how that could possibly be a lipstick cap, being so small...the width of a fraction of a dime. But that's a site I'd go back to at least a few times and try my luck with digging some low tones too. :thumbsup:
