Hey Diggers,
So I am driving around door knocking and it seems no one is home! Just as I am about to give up for the day I get a call from Tim and he says he is about 2 hours north of me and the town is nice and old and he already has pulled some awesome coins. ROAD TRIP! I got there at 3 o'clock and we started door knocking and got 3 yesses. All turn of the century Victorian houses I might add.
It wasn't long before Tim and I were getting some oldies! The 1900 barber quarter is very worn and rang up as 12-45 at 7 inches deep. Both nickels hit exactly 12-12 and I knew they were nickels before I even cut the plug. Both were shallow at only about 3 inches deep. It must have been my day for finding aluminum tokens. They always ring up like silver too.
The civil war heel plate was 10 inches deep in the old curb strip. It's the second one of these I have found.
The best find of the day was made by Tim (IMO) and I would have traded all my coins for it too!But I'll let him tell that story.
Thanks Tim for thinking of me and for the invite. I had a blast! Here is some pics. Thanks for looking and HH, Dave.
