SE Minnesota
Detector(s) used
Minelab Explorer SE pro, Minelab Explorer XS, Garrett Freedom II (3), Garrett pro-pointer.
Primary Interest:
Metal Detecting
After doing a little research on construction projects around the area, I came across this sidewalk replacement project located in the heart of the downtown business district. They are replacing sidewalks on both sides of Main Street for 6 blocks. :)
Got permission from the City Engineer and the construction people to detect. ;D and after about 2 hours of searching a detecting buddy of mine showed up too. Between the two of us, we got 5 Seated Liberty dimes, 1 shield nickel, 3 V nickels, a two cent piece, and 3 Indian head cents. All but one of the coins were found in the area in front of the 1882 Bank building. It was the only section where they didn't put about 6" of sand down. The coin pics are only the ones that I found.
