Anyone have thoughts on a date range for this structure. From old aerial photos, it looks like it might have been a farmhouse. :confused: I am hoping some of the more knowledgeable folks might offer a possible time of construction based on the materials used. Thanks, Joe

Got out for a couple hours early this morning and did pretty well. :happydance01: Added three more Mercs and IH's to my collection plus a nice token. It's a little bit bigger than a half dollar... unfortunately, it's expired. lol

Dave invited me to one of his spots today... <: Turned out to be a very fun hunt for us. Weather was cold and windy, but it didn't matter. Nothing too old, but man the dimes were flying out of the ground for me. Dave digging a promising signal. My harvest for the day. Plus a bonus Merc...

I decided to hunt two places that I did last year. Wanted to see if any more coins would show themselves. A few did. :clapping: The Rosie's and the War nickel came from a place I have probably spent more hours than anywhere else. Lots of silver came from this lot. I was actually surprised to...

Got out for a very rewarding hunt tonight. A nice 3 hours right up until it was too dark to see in the hole. lol It wasn't rewarding because I found double digit silver numbers or a keeper pocket full of Barbers and Indians. It was fun because I decided to revisit a small park that I hunted...

Got a chance today to get back to the farmhouse I found the WLH on Friday. Not quite as many keepers that I had hoped for, but enough to make for a nice hunt. The Indian Head is dated 1865... one year earlier and I might have had my first 'fat one'. :rolleyes: The Air Mail charm is silver. Kind...

out pops a big one. <: Got out for just enough this morning. Mostly because I received permission yesterday to hunt an old farm house and with the rains moving in quickly for the next few days, I had to give it a quick test run. Curiosity got the best of me. lol I was able to hunt for about...

A couple hours of hunting this morning produced some fun keepers. Picked up a lonely Merc and some wheats. :happydance01: Also mixed in were a few other goodies. The case :confused: says... Compliments of Nicholas Kuhnen Manufacturer Of Fine Cigars Davenport, Iowa Established 1854 Also, I...

Went out for a very pleasant morning hunt. I decided to try a place I did several times last year. Wanted to see if the freeze/thaw shifted some coins around enough for the Minelab to pick up. Found a couple of goodies. :happydance01: 1927 Not quite sure what this is?

I was able to get a few hours this morning before a busy afternoon schedule. I debated not going at one point, but I am sure glad I followed my instinct. Tried a new spot. I've had my eye on this place since last year and finally got in there this morning. :happydance01: Dug an IH and a couple...

Dave and I were finally able get out together for a hunt this afternoon. We started at a park that neither of us had hit before. I found a wheat but we quickly got tired from the barrage of pull tab signals. A two foot sweep of the coil would sound like a slot machine that just hit a jackpot...

Got out for a very fun hunt tonight. Went back to the spot I picked up quite a few wheats, an IH and some silver last week. Tonight there were fewer wheats to find, but the silver was plentiful. :yes: Both quarters were in the same hole. :happydance01: The Merc I picked up in an area that...

I was suppose to go out with Dave this morning but with my niece's birthday party, sadly I had to postpone. We got home at 5:15 and in very short order I had my detector in the back of the truck and off I headed. :yes: Went back to the spot ( HERE ) I recently found a Shield Nickel and picked...

First two hours at a new site produced some nice keepers. :yes: There is some debate of when the original house was built. My source lists it at 1890 but the owner said possibly as early as 1870. Either way... <: Lots of property at this site. So I picked a small section of the front yard and...

Headed back out for another sunset hunt tonight and was kept busy digging again. Very sandy soil at this place and the coins sure get deep quick. Got my first square penny tonight. thumbsup01 lol

I wasn't planning on going out this evening, but watching Ill Digger's latest video got me in the mood to find some silver. Right about 5:00 I headed out for a very nice two hour hunt. The area is obviously very saturated with wheats but there were some other goodies hiding with them. First...

I keep putting these two nickels together and ponder the reason that caused them to land on the ground like this around a 100 years ago. I found these two nickels last Friday ( Here ) and have been captivated by them ever since. Keep in mind that 100 years is loosely based on the condition of...

Just one of those days where I struggled for good signals. Hunts like this really make me appreciate the good ones when they come along. :yes: A few wheats, a coin from Portugal and a crotal bell. Pretty cold and windy out today... but as always, fun to be hunting.

to make for a fun hunt. :happydance01: Silver, some wheats and a few toys. The army guy is a heavy one. It probably sunk an inch as soon as it hit the ground. lol I had hopes for Barbers and IH's... guess I'll take what I can get. :rolleyes:

Got out for a nice hunt this afternoon. Found a new spot that has some potential. Lots and lots of trash in the top 2 inches, but the goodies are hiding at 5+ inches. A couple of Rosie's, a Merc and a War Nickel. :happydance01: The two V's were sandwiched together. You can see the contact...
