Was in my hometown this past weekend and hunted a yard of a pre-Civil War house that I have hunted before. Found some oldies there last year in the front yard including a1876 seated dime and a shield nickel. Tried the big back yard this time and found a lot in about 4 hours of hunting. Noteworthy U.S. coins for this hunt include 3 IHs (1899, 1901 and 1907), a 1910 V Nickel, a worn 1916S Barber Dime, 1946 Rosie and a 1893Columbian Exposition silver half dollar – my oldest half. There was a small patch where I found several foreign coins that a child must have been playing with outside and lost as they were all with a few feet of each other. They include 2 British Half Pennies – 1939 and 1945, a 1931 Canadian nickel, a 1952 Italian 5 Lire and 2 coins I cannot identify. Also found the following items – Hyde Park, NY charm – home of Franklin Roosevelt, a Paris souvenir watch fob and a 1910 half dollar size souvenir token for the 31st Triennial Enclave for a Knights Templar gathering in Chicago. Based on what I found on the internet it was a very large event. All the items were only 3 to 6 inches deep. I also went back to the bleacher tear-out for an hour and found a 1962D Rosie.
those are some really nice coins , that Ben half is a tuff coin to find i only dug 1 so far Great hunt
