I detected this vacant house site on June 15 & 18, this is by far the most modern coins I've ever found at one house :o I just kept digging penny after penny in the front yard! This is where I also found the junk ring, but when it first came up I though for sure I'd found my first gold ring of the year ... but it wasn't to be. :( I finally started making some decent older finds when I moved into the side yard. Nothing great, but I did find a musketball, an 1860 'Lip Burner' Font, a little brass finial, a 1971 Kennedy Half, a 1967 British Penny and a brass doorknob!

Total cash finds $7.10!

Thanks for looking,
Dave

PS. I apologize for the picture quality, I need to get a new phone next week as my old Blackberry's finally had it!

Thanks JG!
If I just had one silver nickle for every 'Victorian House' I've hunted ... I'd be a wealthy man! :laughing7:

What a beautiful home! Gotta be more!
I sure hope so ... I hate to think that all they ever lost here were modern pennies! :laughing9:
Best of luck to you,
Dave

Hit it after you get a good soaking rain Dave. It will help get you down to the oldies. Nice hunt!
