I packed up my DEUS and met my friend Al, at a gas station a little north of New Rochelle, N.Y. He has permission to hunt a property that has a tax deed that goes back to 1804. We had to walk quite a distance because there is no street parking alongside the road that abuts the property.
I was really happy when we walked up on the hand dug well. The stone foundation of the old farm house was screaming "OLD"
My buddy's first coin was a Barber dime. Then about an hour into the hunt I got a 1929 Mercury Dime. The expectations of perhaps a Seated Coin was evaporating. We did manage a silver quarter each. Al got a worn SLQ and I got a 1941 Washington. There was evidence of recent activity on the property. (Clad and trash).
The weather doesn't look good for the next few days, so this is probably it for 2016.
Happy New Year everyone.
