Old House Finds in Yellow Springs (Pics Added)

[SoreKneesDayton]

Jeff and I got permission to detect an old house that is slated for demolition in Yellow Springs. A local archeologist told us about it.

It started raining here today but we hit the site incase the demolition guys get there first. All coins were hard to get a signal on and deep 5-8." Gound was very dry although rainy/drizzly all day. VDI was 74-76

Well jeff did ok:
Merc Dime - 1921
Rosy Dime - 1952
Rosy Dime 1951
Wheat Penny - 1919

SKD:
Merc Dime at 6" -1917
Several current pennies - big deal
One indian decoration from indian children -junk

Lots of fun and good lunch but now headache from MSG in food.

Nice finds Terry. Maybe you'll have some more time or did you hit it pretty hard?
That house looks too nice to destroy

I'm with Gypsy on this one... I love that house, it doesnt look like its in that bad of shape, a shame but maybe you can still hunt more and even after they take it down, possibilities right?

Man,
I'm drooling over that old house & yard. That looks like a great spot to continue MDing. I'm sure they'll be more there.
Some very nice finds guys.
Congrats,

What a waste of a good house.
Around here that house would be a prize.
Heres a house that needs demolishing:

Thanks for the comments all. The supossed spirits in the picture are reflection from raindrops. We were in and out of rain and heavy mist there all day. We were alright under the trees then we would hit some open area or the wind would blow and we would get soaked.

Some people in this town are weird, so we don't know what all we will find at this site. One guy was trying to get a job with the property manager that told us about the place. The manger said he could not hire the guy as he was wearing a Mumu, tied-dyed dress and a bra, and that his clients might be scarred by his appearance. The guy told the manager that it was his makeup--right!

More story to follow and maybe the dime pics--if Jeff will turn loss of them for photographing.

And Scratch--get a new office!
