Sidewalk Shuffle

stoney56 · Jul 3, 2009

Well, after all the things going on the last couple of weeks, I finally got to turn the machine on for a few minutes and check out a sidewalk tear up. Was only able to get in 20 min or so but I'm happy. :wink:

There is a seated dime too worn to date, an 1885 IH, a 1907 Barber dime, an 1891 V nickle, and a 1901 O Barber quarter.

Just because you havent been able to get out of town to hunt,doesnt mean you can start ripping up the sidewalks!
LOL
WTG!

You have to love the sidewalk projects. It is great to rescue them from their long tomb of concrete. Great finds!!! :thumbsup:

You just never know what you find sidewalk hunting!! Nice finds(if a little rough) and hope to see more!

Thanks y'all. Looked up the Barber quarter. Missed it by that much.

The 1901O is 40 in G4 and the 1901S is $5500 in G4. :'(

Sure, make sure you bring your waders though. LOL It rained overnight and more today....what a mess. :'(

Did make a collage of the cartridges found. My gosh, it must have been wild on Main back then,

.
12 Gauge UMC, .38 S&W, .44 WCF, .22, and an unknown---all in one block.

Nice silver and DANG on all those cartridges

Thanks everyone. Looks like I got's to go back again. Mentioned the site to a close friend and club mate who's been having to take total care of his son and hasn't hunted all year. He got his wife to take over for a little while so he could go down and check it out. I was in the middle of a cookout when he called to say "Thank you." I said uh oh and asked what he'd found. He'd gone to the other end of the block and in 30 min. found a 1917 Walker, 1906 and 1907 IH, and about 4-5 wheaties. :icon_pirat:

Me and my big mouth. ::)

LOL

Looks like a western shoot-out :laughing7:

Those are some nice old cartridges. WTG on the coin finds too :thumbsup:

mlayers · Jul 5, 2009

Thats the way it goes. Start talking about the finds and everyone wants in. You got some nice coins can not wait to see what else you find....Matt

The Seeker · Jul 5, 2009

I'll bet you did'nt waste any time getting over there when you seen those side walk being removed.........I would have hit the brakes, driving past!

WTG John

Matt, I don't mind giving him the lead on it. He let me hunt his yard for a bit last year and pulled a merc. out of it that he missed.

You betcha John. Just as soon as I could get off work. :icon_thumleft:

Went back this morning for a little hunt and wound up with a few more coins, a token, small belt or saddle bag buckle, and a decorative cuff button. The coins are 1893 V nickle, 1895 IH, 1919 wheatie, 1920D merc, and the token is for 2 1/2 cents in trade but is aluminum and too far gone to determine the business.

It pays to lift up those temporary plywood walkways. :wink:
