i havent posted much but i think ill post this one:

I went to an 1887 house yesterday in Albany. I hunted for about 2 hrs but i didnt cover all the property. it goes all the way back to a nice little creek that looks promising. i only huntedthe front yard(which was about 30 ft. from the road) and about 1/3 of the backyard. In the front I got a hit and i pulled out an 1897 british penny. i thought it was a large cent at first that would have been my first one.

i also found a beautiful '61 silver dime and 13 wheaties, about 7 of them being in the same hole as the dime. also came away with a couple pieces of a buckle, some kind of molding or baking tin, a case of discarded razors, and 46 cents in clad. the wheats were: 58D,53,56D,40(2),46,3?,19,56(2),44,57D, and 18. two of them were stuck together in the same hole.

it was a really fun day and hopefully i can get back there next weekend. i have another house lined up (older than that one) where my grandfathers old secretary lives, but i dont know if ill be able to get there next weekend cause my grandfather is having a hip operation on tues. and i have a feeling hes gonna be a little nervous.

Sounds like a promising site. Congrats on the silver! 8)
 

Good finds there. Albany huh? I'm right around the corner. Upstate NY is great for old sites. Good luck and wish your grandfather the best for me. Hope everything goes well.
