Civil war goodies from my own yard!

[Superblitz]

Dug these today in my front field. The coins are both 1858, my oldest date found! I had recently found a 1861 nearby, and about 12 other bullets from the same field.

[Dr.Tones]

Oh wow! Those are great!

 

[jewelerguy]

Great CW lead, great coins, and AWESOME yard!
I'd be out there every day.
Congrats,

Great flying Eagles and lead, it's great to dig in the back yard when the urge hits ya.

 

[Superblitz]

They were within a foot of each other, so I went crazy detecting a circle around the holes. Unfortunately I couldn't finish the search because the kids were hungry, but I'm hoping to head back out tomorrow.

Thanks! This yard is nuts! I've found tons of coins in the front, train relics on the side, and so many bullets in this front field now!

 

[pepperj]

Great looking button also, your getting yourself quite the collection already from the yard. Being so handy it's a great place to dig every signal as time allows one to do things like that.

What's your address? I'll be over.

 

[Superblitz]

I'm very new to detecting but had amassed quite a collection of nails, so I turned iron off for now. Someday I'll go back through digging everything!

 

[Msbeepbeep]

You're finding it by the ton! Congrats!

Lol we just moved in June 20 and were told a detector had never been used here so I picked up a little whites coinmaster. Two ancient buildings just came down but I haven't done much with those areas yet. I only know the buildings were older than the house, a rebuild after a fire around 1884.

Hungry, shmungry, they can wait. :-P

Cool finds, it's nice that you can step outside your door and dig up stuff like that.

How old are the little ones? Maybe you can strap a cheap Bounty Hunter to their arms and get them digging up some more finds.

12, 10, and 1. :-p

12, 10, and 1. :-p

The 1 year old might struggle a little with the weight of a detector, but the other two are ready for basic training.

Gotta get em hooked early.

I have two daughters ages 4 and 6. I bought 2 bounty hunter kids detectors from Amazon and they were delivered today. It's going to be hard to wait till Xmas for them to open them.

Seems like a good excuse to be a stay at home mom to me.
