Short hunt yields silver #28!!

[cjon455]

Hey guys, no long story here today, I basically have a honey-do list about a bagillion miles long and got most of it done today and made a deal with the wife, let me finish it tomorrow in exchange for goin digging today, she obliged lol

Im working on this house that no one lived in for at least 10 yrs, I found where the owner lives and asked him the other day, he seemed ok with it except hes worried about liability? as if I would get hurt on his property or something. so I made a waiver stating basically that if anything should happen although highly unlikely I release them of any and all liabilities. Seems like it should work, only problem, no one was there to deliver the note to.

Off to plan b

it was a 30s house that sat in front of some Faith-based school so I knocked and a young guy answered and gave me the ok, so I start swinging and hit the 2 wheat spill right away,
within 10 minutes I hit the 1934 Washington and thought, wow this place has major potential

buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuttttttt, shortly after that the guy comes back out and says
"maybe I should clear it with my landlord first" I said no problem and thanked him and went on my way to that park from the other day again, nothing too exciting, just some clad and the dollar coin, My first!

That makes silver #28 on the year, man im having so much fun this year!!!
thanks for looking and HH!!

Alright thanks for the perspective guys. I have been wondering because a lot of people say private property is where the good stuffs at and I had been wondering how people get to keep things they find on someone else's property. Also was wondering why someone would spend hours unearthing treasures on someone else's property just to hand em over to the land owner. Shoot if I'm not gonna be able to keep anything I dig on the property then heck, the land owner can go buy their own detector locate it, dig it, and recover it themself!

First, congrats on the Washington. Second, I always tell people who ask that I will share "some" of my finds. I have even (if they ask) said if I find anything really valuable, I will split it with them. If I found a gold horde I would not just keep 1 or 2 coins, I would split it with them, because without me they never would have found it. I have learned one thing, each property is like a snowflake, you never know how that landowner is going to react.

Thanks Treblehunter!!

nice to see that we all kinda share the same ideas on how this should work!
honestly I was waiting for someone to chime in and say something like " well it is their land after all, and it's just a privilege to dig it"
sorry but if I'm diggin it I'd want to keep some if not all of it

lol otherwise what would be the point right? Haha. "Here you go sir, a bunch of silver coins and clad I dug outta the ground for you. It sure was a pleasure digging for four hours to have nothing to show for it." lol

I just hope you never have to confront that "backfire". As selfish as it might seem, when I'm out there doing ALL the work, I expect so leniency in what I choose to keep. Threshold touched on the aspect, of a sort. After all, project down the road. You get permission, you dig for hours and "on the way back to the car", you finally turn up that 20 dollar gold piece that Abe lost on his way back from Gettysburg. Now, do you STILL show them EVERY-thing? Just my thought. LOL

I don't remember losing a gold piece :-)
