    Abandoned house hunt


    Got in a quick one hour hunt today at a private property that I've eyeballed for a long time know. It's an abandoned house. I finally saw the owner a while back when all the trees were being cut down and I asked if I could check the yard out and he said no problem. The place will be torn down at some point.

    I started in the back and was confounded by tons and tons of signals. Mainly trash popped up except for some clad. I got tired of the signal overload and headed to the front yard. This is where things calmed down and signals were better. This is where I plucked to two wheats and just before leaving, the silver Rosie from 1949. The wheats are 1950 and 1951.

    Thanks for looking and happy hunting everyone!
