December 6, 2015 – A friend of mine bought a house that was in foreclosure to flip it so of course I asked if I could detect the lawn. The house was built in 1854, sits on a village street and still has its old barn in the backyard. I also vaguely remember many years ago as a kid my father detecting this yard looking for a lost piece of jewelry I believe. The house once belonged to a relative at one time. Anyways, I stopped in early Sunday morning and started in the backyard. Lots of iron, most likely nails as the 3030 sounded like a machine gun of grunts on every swing. Dug some clad, some junk, 7 wheaties, 3 silver dimes (seated, barber & merc) and a small silver ring. I’ll probably head back there this weekend if this weather holds up.

I'm with Tony, having that seated as part of the trifecta is super. I have a friend such as your's and he always lets me do his flip houses.
Hope this weekend is as good for ya.

Were you able to straighten the ring out? Nice dime trifectas.

I don't think it was. I found it in the back yard and a I remember him looking up front by the sidewalk. I found my distance cousin on FB and sent her a message to see if she remembers what he was looking for.

Thanks! I didn't try to straighten it, just cleaned it up and threw it in the box with my other jewelry finds.

Looks like a perfect place to hunt by the pic you posted. And of coarse, by the coins you found.
Congrats on the old trifecta!!
Get back there and hit it again. Good Luck.
