Fun Day of Detecting With Two Forum Members

[Tony Two-Cent]

This past Saturday I met up with Digger Don and Noah (Tim) for a day of detecting. We all had some decent finds on a very windy day.

Yes, we did detect this 1850s yard, but apparently it had been pounded previously.


Here is my take for the day:

1891 Indian Head
1914 Buffalo
1917 Buffalo
1939 Jefferson
1948 Jefferson
1940 Merc
1943 Merc
1944 Merc


Eighteen Wheat Cents including someone's lucky 1928 penny that is holed.


A few relics of limited interest. I think the button is probably old but I can't make out what it says on the back. It has a floral pattern on the front.



Lots of junk!



As always, it was a lot of fun detecting with Don and Tim even if they both out-hunted me! :envious:

Nice group of keepers Tony! Is that a Winnie the pooh pin? What's with the upside down pic? An homage to Noah? Lol.

:lol: I hadn't even noticed the upside down pic. It's fixed now.

I'm not sure who's playing the banjo. Probably not Winnie the Pooh with that long tail. Might be a cat?

Nice hunting Tony! Still making good finds in a pounded yard is certainly an accomplishment. Noticed your IH is the same year as the last one I found. Nice job!

Nice hunting Tony. It was nice of you to let the other two out hunt you.... It's been so long since I got myself a nickle, congrats on all of yours. Some silvers and an IHP to top off the keepers....:thumbsup02:

 

[OxShoeDrew]

WOW, why do you think it was previously pounded...they cherry picked much of the silver? So many wheats :shocked03:
Do you guys find many lawns have been fill over with top soil? Great picture of you guys too!!

 

[Tony Two-Cent]

To clarify, the yard in the photo only produced a single Mercury Dime. All of the other finds came from other yards.

 

[Noah]

Tony you got a nice variety of finds! I was like, how's? Than I saw your trash pile LOL! Goes to show you miss a lot when you cherry pick for coin signals only. I've got to change my ways a bit I think. Anyways it was great you could join in on the Saturday fun.

How'd you know I pick a banjo?

Nice picks. Kudos for including the Jefferson nickels (often forgotten ) lol. I found that exact makeup compact a few years ago.

Great hunt! Lots of goodies.

Whenever you guys meet up lots of great things are found! Congrats on the silvers and other finds. It would be hard to pass up a house like that one in the pic...too bad you guys were not the first ones to hit it.

What a nice load of older coins Tony! Man, that's a lot of wheaties! Any uncommon dates or S's, D's? The button is definitely mid-1800s era being a 1 piece. Quite early for your area.

Congrats on all your cool finds Tony. 18 wheats, Wow I only dug 5. I always have fun when we get together, it's always a good day.
I don't think you realized how close that branch came to hitting you, one step back and it could have been painful for sure!!!
Anyway, Congrats on a productive & windy hunt!
