Today's finds... 05/04
I hunted three different areas today. I met up with Greg (greatdeals on coinhunting.net) today and we hunted a house yard where the house dates to the lates 1800s, early 1900s and was a HUGE yard. And we got skunked pretty much!! I did find something right off the bat that was about the size of a nickel and read on one side: "Wooden Nickel" and 5 & FIVE on the other side. It rang up like silver and was thing and worn. But somehow I lost it? It was in my pouch and now it's not... oh well I guess.... The yard was all pushed around and there was nothing deep at all. There was also an invisible dog fence that really messed with our detectors.
Then we checked out the park in Middletown and just got clad. We also tried looking for a geocache and had no luck with that.
Then I met up with Lee and one of his buddies, the name escapes me right now, and hunted out at Heekin Park in Muncie. I was getting nothing and when I was getting tempted to work my way back to the car I got a nice hit at about 7" deep. It was an 1884 Indian Head Penny! Boo yah! Rechecked the hole.... 1892 IH! Walked a few more feet... 1902 IH! They all came out nice and green. That was it for the Indians, but I did manage two wheats as well after that, a 52D and 44D.
Not a bad day as far as I am concerned!
Nobody else had as much as luck as I did unfortuanetly.
