Hunted the old church again and scored 4 keepers! In the back grass area dug another mercury dime and 3 wheat pennies.
51 more coins came off the back yard area of the church.

Hunted the front area of the church and dug down 6 inches and found two wheat pennies and a 1905 Indian Head penny in
the same hole! Also on the front grass got another V nickel, this one is a 1903! A 1945-S silver nickel and a few more wheat
pennies toped off the day!

Very nice. The good lord must have been looking down on you.
 
Great site and great finds.
 
Great finds! :thumbsup:

You will probably want to work on making smaller, neater holes if you're going to use the plug method to find your targets in lawns.


Best Wishes,


Buckles
 
Nice pics and finds there--Congrats!

Well Done!!

Happy Hunting

I agree with Buckleboy. I put the dirt on a cloth. Makes it faster to fill in the hole and leaves no dirt residue on the lawn.
 
I pass by that church every Tuesday, and had it on my to-do list to detect...no need now since you've cleaned most of the good stuff out! :D
I figured I would have been late to the party anyways :) Congrats with the finds. Fun fact: They filmed at that beautiful church in the Robin Williams remake
of "Flubber" from 1997.
 
Nice job finding that virgin spot, congrats on all the sweet finds!
