A little imagination paid off

[DANGLANGLEY]

I still brood over the 1849 church that I got to look around for a few minutes with the ground frozen a few months back. I drive by it every day and it haunts me, lol... I was later told the church members said I couldn't hunt anymore. I did sweep a pretty good size area and got plenty of good signals that I thought I was going to be able to go back and get. Anyway, that's a connected story...Well, sort of. There's an adjoining lot where they built an apartment building some years back and I thought that it might hold some old coins too because it was right next to the church property. I finally got permission to search the yard today and I went down there a while ago for a little bit to just do a quick check. Here's what I found...I might be able to get some more goodies out of there. Have a good one and HH to all.

It seems that decendants of the original church founders still have a lot of say in affairs of the church and they don't want anyone digging in the yard. It's a shame because I would gladly give any church related artifact to them. I did mention that but it didn't help. They were nice about it but I have to drive by it every day ond I automattically look over at it every time. Thanks for the question and have a good one.

Nice Finds, DL. Too bad about the church, but sounds like you might have another spot already.

Even if it is aluminum it's a cool find.

Nothing seems cheezier than an aluminum coin. Feels like you have nothing.

Good luck at the place.
