I've had my eye on this old, empty lot which dates to the thirties where I knew a house or two had once been and decided to give it a quick try today. Glad I did as it looks to potentially produce some silver. After poking around for about an hour trying to figure out where the front or back yard used to be, I began to come across a few good finds. The first was a '44 wheatie (not pictured), and where there's one you know there's usually more. So I gridded off a 20x20 area before it got too late and came up with a 1917D wheatie and an old compact hit by a tractor's disc that, unfortunately, didn't have any coins in it. I also got a first–an old Kodak film cannister. Not sure just how old but I'm pretty ticked off that the tractor disc mangled it almost beyond recognition! The last pic is of some sort of plate wtih a lot of old patent dates, which was found at another site yesterday that also needs more detecting work. Can't quite make out the company name yet. Time to go buy myself a magnifying glass.
