Worn and Beaten, but Still Standing!

Short 30-minute "audition" hunt on a property I'm trying to get permission to hunt. I showed the owner the four targets I dug - two pulltabs, a bobbypin, and this Quarter! She said she watched me from her window the whole time and because, "..my yard looks OK, you kept your word and showed me it all," I got the permission. Pretty stoked! Seven-acres and the original house was built in 1757. She let me keep the quarter, and she has 1st refusal on all finds.

Remember, don't throw out any of those funny pieces of odd brass - Indian ornaments, likely on so old a property.

Holy moly thats an old site I would build a log cabin on the premises. I would love a site where its like a dig everything Good luck looks like a great start with that coin. In my town if I dug everything I dont think I would get 10 ft in a long days hunt lol The state flower in MI is a pull tab.. Keep us posted my friend HH Tommy
