Went out last week after work and door knocked at a house that sits on a huge lot and was built in the 20's. I got permission to hunt it for a bit before dark. There was only a few good signals but two were silver, a Rosie & a Washington. There is a huge old tree that is on the far corner of her property, and she told me there was an old house by that tree years ago and I could come back and look around there. So that is where I went the next evening. I hunted the iron infested yard and managed another Rosie, a 1905 Indian, an old flat button and a couple of wheats . I went back on Friday to hunt the grown over gravel drive, and found a nice Barber dime, a few wheat cents, a Canadian penny and a piece of play money. Old driveways are tough do dig in, but there can be some goodies left because of that same reason. I went out yesterday afternoon with a friend, but we had a tough time finding a place to go. At one place I found 3 wheat pennies from the 40's, that someone had fun shooting. HH David

Ha......... hate to admit it but I have murdered a many a coin with a .22lr as a kid. Never in my life shot street signs etc but considered a coin on a fence post fair game. Looks like a great old yard. Congrats.:icon_thumleft:
 

20.gif they used to call detecting for coins - coinshooting
 

Good finds, I enjoy finding shot up coins. HH
 

Very nice finds, congrats.
 

Wow! Fantastic! Gotta love the old silver and Indian Heads. I also really like the coins that have been shot. I have quit a few in my collection too. Reminds me of all the coins I shot when I was a kid, and then I couldn't find.
