Will work for Chicken Feed and a few coins

First time out this year thanks to the never ending winter here in colorado......The house next to me was built in the 40s, so I figure it would be a great place to "practice". So after a knock on the door a 70 year old Japanese lady answers the door with broken english.... she says "You no find anything...someone already searched several years ago" GREAT I thought to myself.... a few zinc pennies. I HATE ZINC PENNIES.

I persisted and she agreed to let me hunt. What I found was 18 wheats, 4 silver rosies, one Chicken feed play coin, a few deco ornaments??

Oh yeah....can't seem to hunt anymore without finding a few Colorado State Tax 1/5th cent tokens from the 1930s. Oldest wheat was a 1915 D, all in all not a bad day, and I think it's going to be a great year. :thumbsup:

Nice finds ... I found a chicken feed play coin about a week ago but mine was in very poor condition ... congratz on your first day out and good luck the rest of the year!

Fantastic finds, love those old brooches...and she said someone hunted that site, seems they didn't find much, you did a great job finding a lot of treasures.

:wink:

Some good looking wheats in there also.

Nice finds, did you have to dig through snow to find them? Going to Colorado in July to Estes Park and hope to find some good stuff on the way. Any suggestions of places? :thumbsup:
