Was a the in-laws house which was built in the early 1920's. It was a learning experience for me as there was so much iron masking (nails everywhere). I managed to find 14 wheats, something like 20+ shell casings, a large buckshot ball, a large caliber bullet, and my wife's favorite matchbox car from her childhood (which made her angry b/c she knew that it was lost by her little brother).


The wheat's include 1914; 1919 x3; 192? -s; 1926; 1939; 1940; 1941; 1944 x2; 1946 -d x2; 1 beyond identification. I feel like I just scratched the surface. People believe that this house was a rum running stop during prohibition and that there was even a still in the basement. With the sheer number of shell casings in the small front yard (plus bullets that seemed to be shot at the house) I would not doubt this. I look forward to hunting there more ( hopefully when I have a 11" DD coil to deal better with all the iron).
And my wife's favorite car, which she only played with inside (but she always suspected her younger bro taking it out):

Happy hunting!
