Tried my luck trying to get permission today in a small town about an hour away from me. Only had til noon because my daughters birthday party is today. I got a late 1800s home that according to the owner, he lived in for 50 yrs and it's never been hit. Well 5 minutes in, I knew I had a problem, you can tell the ground was torn up and leveled out, I had clad quarters at 6-7 inches! I really had to work the heck out of that yard for the 2 hrs I was there to squeeze out the 63 Washington and 64 roosie (24 silver fty), and the 7 wheats (144 fty), also got the cool guth chocolate company token which I really like. It says "good as gold" on the back. Today was a nice, mind clearing day, driving thru the countryside with the windows down and the almost fall crisp air, just what the doctor ordered!

Oh man I get so disappointed when a good spot turns out to be filled and or levelled. You made some cool finds however. Congrats on the silver and neat token!
 

Sweet digs Chris, congrats on the silvers and wheats. I like the token also. Did you get any leads on more permissions in the area?
 

Good catch !
The Guth Chocolate Company started around 1905 and was bought by United Drug Co in 1914.

Congrats on the finds and a happy birthday to your daughter. I really like the token.
 

Happy Birthday to your Daughter sounds like a great day perfect weather a few silvers ect and somewhere to return to!!Thanks for sharing
 

Nice Chris. Glad that you got out and scored.
 

Hey good finds even though the ground had been leveled....Too bad the coins weren't older...Happy hunting
 

Congratulations, the extra effort paid off. Nice finds. I hope you go back for more!
 

Nice old token and silvers. Hope you can find some more goodies. Your token is over 100 years old and a good sign that other goodies aren't all buried deep

Hello cjon455. Wheaties, silver, and a nice token. Three of my favorite things to dig up...especially the token. Thanks for the post and Good Luck. C9
