Thread: Town is not dead yet.

    Town is not dead yet.

    Just when we thought there was nowhere else to go we found a new angle. That angle was field hunting. Well the field we’ve detected for a few weekend started to dry up and so we went looking for a house and lo and behold I caught a homeowner dragging newly fallen branches out of his front yard, a house I’ve knocked at before but could never get an answer. absolutely the friendliest guy and he let me know that the original structure was in the front yard, in 1832 cabin. it turned out so well we never made it to the house permission we had arranged to go to where I got my Carson City seated dime the day before! Of course Al and Don got all the old coins. I got all the modern as Dave ( Full metal) likes to call these.

    Homeowner told me that the house sat on the market for several years and the grass was so tall when they bought it they ended up plowing it. I wonder how many coins got plowed in and how many coins got plowed up! Thanks for leaving me at least the “modern silver” Don and Al!
