Looks like I may be done for awhile, its 18 degrees out and it snowed last night.:crybaby2: Last sunday I was able to get permission on the farm next door to
where I got my quad last week. Its another 1880`s house and I was pretty sure it was gonna produce too.

I got started and was going almost an hour when I got a nice 19-20 signal fairly shallow, I was thinking it was gonna be a zincoln being shallow like that but I
have learned at these old permissions to dig it all, I`m glad I did as it turned out to be an 1882 Indian, my oldest one yet!

When I closed the hole I swept one time and bang got another 20 on my Equinox and this time dug up a 1892 Indian!! I rechecked the hole and my pinpointer
started singing again an when I dug around a bit out popped another 1882 Indian!!! wow this is great, best yard all year, I go about 15 feet and bang, another
20 signal and once I got the plug out, out comes another 1892 Indian!!!! wow! four Indians for the yard, can`t believe it.:headbang:

After that it slowed down for about a half hour and I was about 50 feet from where I found all the Indians and got a very weak 21-22 signal, I dug it not really
knowing what to expect and after I got the plug out it took a few minutes to find it. After seeing a shiny rim expose itself I was expecting maybe a Merc, as it was
only around 3-4 inches deep.

Once I sprayed some water on it I let out a little whoop! I just found another seated dime!! That makes two Sundays in a row with a seated, wow!! This one was
a 1891 and was the best condition one I have found.

After that I found a few wheats the rest of the day and it was time to go home.

Tuesday morning was cold (23 degrees) but I wanted to see if I could find at least one more good coin before it froze up.

Glad I did as I went back over where I found all the Indians and all of a sudden got a solid 20 again! Once again I got the plug out and out came a 1902 Indian, my
fifth one out of this yard.

The next day I went out for a couple hours before work and was going around and old oak tree and got a solid 23-24 and after flipping the plug over, there it
sat right on the top of the plug! After cleaning it off I could see it was a 1908 Barber in great condition! This yard is really kind to coins, I only covered less
than a quarter of it, the lady said I could come back in the spring to finish!

I got a couple more short hunts in the rest of the week and found a couple more Mercs to get my silvers FTY to 95, gotta hope for some warm weather to
arrive if I`m gonna get to 100 this year.

Great last year for seated on that dime Canadian penny is my birth year 1932.
 

Wow, you got some great coins from this one! Great spot. Happy hunting in the spring.
 

That is one great-looking old house. Congrats on all those sweet finds, and here's hoping there's more to come!
 

Wow you did really well at that spot! Congrats on the IHP's, seated (!) and barber. With coins like that I'm sure there are more and probably some quarters!
 

That's what im talking about. Congratulations :icon_thumright:
 

Wow, what a haul! I wish we had some big, old yards like that around here. Not a lot of 1800s manors in Seattle. Way to go!
 

Awesome old coin shooting! :occasion14:
