3 Silvers & 14 Wheats

Went to Lincoln, to est. some concrete work, after wards I drove around looking for a potential spot to do some hunting, when I got Close to the Gladding & McBean Factory, I found a scraped lot that looked as if had a house on it, because I know the area was on the older side I thought Silver was a good possibility.
My first signal dug was a 1915 Wheat, "this is a Good sign" next couple were Copper Memorials, than another wheat and another and another, "Wheres the Silver" :BangHead: then a 42 S war Nickel pops up, then some real Silver this beautiful 1875 Seated :wav: Then I was detecting a grassy spot and my Machine goes into over load, ended up with my first Silver Half in a long time it was only an inch or so down, and was with 3 Cad Quarters, explains the overload.
I was talking to a Contractor working on the house next door and he told me that A.J. Gladdings house (Date 1895) was there and was Demoed a few weeks ago and that there was a couple of guys that already detected it, goes to show you not everything can not be dug.

That is awesome! :thumbsup:

It annoys me so much when land owners or other people tell me that someone already hunted an area and that I shouldnt bother.
They think you just walk in with a MD and walk out with everything that was buried no problem. :tard: :tongue3:
 

Re: 3 Silvers & 14 Wheats

great hunt - very nice coins

i'm just curious, i'm not very good at getting permission to hunt sites like that,
i always see great pieces of land that look like they've had houses etc and have been demolished, but i never see anyone around or can never even find out who owns the land to ask permission

was this part of the factory property ? did you just ask a secretary or something or did you have to find the actual "owner" of the factory to gain permission ?

just curious
