Hi all , I was rained out yesterday but today there was just a few showers so off l went . I recieved permission to hunt a a home from1900 but it was built on a foundation from a home much older.
I really thought I would hit a flat button or two but i found nothing older the the late 1800s. One of my first digs was a toy greyhound bus. Surprisingly all the wheels and axles are still there. It is in fairly good shape for display.:occasion14:
I hunted about 5 hours there then rolled back to spend time with the family. After dinner I grabbed My detector and hit the beach right in front of our rental. Ive found a few coins in the past right out front so I thought I would give it a few minutes.
To my surprise I got a faint hit that turned out to be a 1935 half dollar!
Love big silver !
Gonna try for some older stuff in the morning.

Whew! Sure glad you didn't hit a bus then dug silver on the beach! Had to read your title two or three times. Yup! Caffeine gauge is almost on E.....
 

Nice score on the walker! It looks like some other nice finds in there also..... :icon_thumleft:
 

awesome finds, congrats on the cool bus and the big silver
 

I would be just flat elated walking away with the bus, wonderful find. And then you get a walker for a bonus!

That's a day to remember.
 

Very nice hunt! It's always nice to find spoons even if they're stainless. I'm still searching for my first silver half. Great finds and happy hunting!
 

What's that larger coin like item the Walker is laying on?
 

Very cool finds with a nice silver coin find! :occasion14:
 

That bus would have made my day.

A walking Liberty would have made my year.
 

Awesome finds for sure....liking the Silver half and the old bus....way to go !! Congrats !!
