Went out yesterday to see if I could put more time in the big yellow house. No one home, 
so I hunted part of the easement 30' x 8' section. Nothing old, only 90 cents in clad.
Got back in the van, to check on another house. It's on the 1874 map and was right across the side street from one of the two original 1 room school houses "back-in-the-day". I pulled up, noticed their car trunk was open. This gave me a good reason to knock.
They were aware of the trunk and gave me permission to detect anyways. This site must have been hit decades ago. No silver, and the oldest coin was a 1946 wheat. I did find 3 aluminum shell oil company tokens, 2 tootsie toys, and $3.28 total. I only got in 4 hours and can go back anytime.
3 Wheats & 3 Tokens
All the items pulled (less the trash)
Left that permission to scout around, 2 blocks away I saw people at a house that they own. (I have been wanting to get permission at this site for a while now). They actually live 50 miles away in Cleveland. I struck up a conversation and after about 5 minutes I popped the question.
He him-hawed around, stated that he detected the property about 20 years ago and did not find any coins. He did however find a 1890 something nickle when he was building the garage. He finally agreed to allow me to hunt, but if I find 2 old coins from the 1800's he would like the lesser valuable of the two and that we split all the clad. I gave him all the clad and all the trash. I got to keep 2 rosies (47 & 51-D) and 5 wheats (1 date unknown, 1944, 1946 x 2, & 1947). I found a few relics I wanted, they are in the pick. I particularly like the helmeted head.
The owners share (clad and trash)
The 5 coins I was allowed to keep.

As always thanks for reading and hope ya'll got out and swung the coil today.
