I was given permission to hunt an old vacant house with my hunting partner Ryan. We concentrated on the front, side, and back yards for about 4 hours. Coins were everywhere! Both of us together found about 160 coins! I dug up 16 wheat pennies, two silver dimes, and a cap gun as my best finds. Ryan had the find of the day with a Meritorious Service Medal from the US armed forces. The house we hunted was built in the 1930's and I know we left quite a bit of good targets still in the ground. It is a large area that we need to go back and hunt again!
