If you've been following, I've got permission to hunt a old house that's scheduled to be torn down.
Here's a link to the first 4 hunts there. http://www.americandetectorist.com/forum/showthread.php?16091-Demo-House

Last week I went back on Monday and got 5 more wheats and 2 more silvers.
Monday 8th:
Another Washington quarter, and a '55 Rosie.

A couple days later I made another trip back there in a straight down pour! :badday:By the time I arrived the rain was moving out! :happydance01:
Just enough time to swing for a couple of hours before dark! :detecting:

Thursday 18th:
One lone wheat, a 1880 IH, a slick date Buff, and a 1949 silver Canadian quarter! :canada:

Monday 15th:
Bitter sweet. Another Monday came and another trip to the demo house was in my future!
I went back last night, and I dug my 6th silver quarter from this yard! :shocked01: A beat up 1926 Merc that was sticking out of the ground right next to the front steps! :shocked04::yahoo: A 1888 IH, and my favorite find of the night, a 1949 dog TAX tag!! (I love finding those!)

This place is like none other I've hunted before as far as silver quarters go. 6 from one yard is a first for me. And 22 silvers is way more than I expected to find in this yard!! :notworthy:
I'm going to keep hitting it till I show up one day and the yard is fenced off and the house is on the ground!! :detecting:

Thanks for lookin' & HH! :peace:

Awesome honey hole Tim! I'm glad that site is so productive for you. You'll have to post a pic showing all the finds from that yard at once. How about a pic of the house/yard too? Best wishes and HH, Dave.

More great finds from the Demo House! :thumbsup02:

You're even finding Canadian silver there now! I agree with Dave, I'd love to see a group photo of all the finds together when you're done hunting there.

Congrats, Tim! Keep hitting it! :clapping:
