The rain stopped and the sun came out and I wasn't stuck inside at work! Been way too much rain this year here in NY. Well good timing for it as I had noticed an old house had disappeared and only by chance I just happen to know the new owners of the old property dated 1825. He told me that the guy that bulldozed the old place ran his metal detector across the yard and got a silver quarter and a silver dime. I don't know how old they were.

So I began swinging my Fisher for two straight hours til almost sunset tonight only digging the "good" tones... 2 Indian Head cents, 1896 and the other is Toast! 1 large cent dated 1830, 15 wheaties, and I got 1925 Standing Liberty Quarter. I hope to get back there again this weekend. This is only from the front yard :)

Since the day I first seen this place gone, they have moved some huge loads of dirt into one corner of the front yard, so who knows what else is still there under that pile that I can't get thru. Anyway, I wonder what the big back yard has waiting for me? 10341943_10205076688987751_7584267762195201165_n.webp10629778_10205076420901049_1825572052503667711_n.webp1234768_10205076420381036_3617735162867228193_n.webp535914_10205076421701069_7572506339758337460_n.webp10710794_10205076421261058_3310680817870528312_n.webp10696403_10205076419781021_5517073541465632194_n.webp1234558_10205076420541040_638807445586011041_n.webp10341701_10205076420061028_6968490405571204719_n.webp
So that is 19 old coins in the front, plus 2 clad quarters, 2 memorial cents, 2 clad nickels and 1 clad dime.

Well done!! I know what you mean about the rain...been raining here for 5 days! Got a few hours of no rain today so I took advantage of it...
 

Nice LC and SLQ! Good stuff man.
 

Good Luck Diggin! I'm loving all the rain we are getting. Went out in between rain drops the other day over property I have hunted before and definitely getting some hits on deeper items. Looking forward to this upcoming weekend.

Happy Hunting!
 

Outstanding finds amigo - I'd be very psyched if I found those nice coins !
 

Dry nice finds you got a good spot.
 

Great finds!, I bet that back yard is holding some great keepers too.

Good luck next time out!!
 

Such a great little spot! I know how you feel about having a hot-spot you can't wait to get back to. I got one in Marblehead right now, and I'm chompin' at the bit to get back to it before the ground freezes up solid.
 

Beautiful SLQ. Love to see them with the date still visible. Good job
 

Great looking Standing Lib.
 

Nice saves! Congrats!
 

awesome standing lib and LC
 

Awesome finds love the SLQ...
 

Nice crisp SLQ, not a common date, a rare one with a date that's for sure! Congrats and LC's not easy to come by.
