1894 O Dime

[dmckee17]

Went after work to an older section of town scouting for a detecting spot when I happened upon an empty lot that the house has been gone probably 30 years. For some reason somebody bulldozed off the top layer of modern wine bottle screw caps and zinc pennies...I dug about 8 or 10 targets including this 1894 O dime, 1910 V nickel, 1913, 1942S, 1944, 1958 wheatie.

EXCELLENT! Luv my Explorer for depth ;-)

That's a fantastic hit! You should re-visit that place with a fine-toothed comb!

Nice find!

Man, that is really nice. You should show a picture of the other coins too.

How deep do you think they would have been had they not bulldozed? Do you think you would still have detected them had they not dozed that area?

Very nice find - I love it if someone would scrape 3-4 inches off some of my parks.

Nice catch on the site and great saves! Keep hitting it until it is silent.

If the site hadn't been scraped, I'm not sure I would have persisted very long due to the number of trash targets typically at these inner city areas. The dime was still about 4 inches deep with about 3 inches scraped but was sorta faint signal. The other coins especially the V nickel were trashed. I pretty much just hunted about 15 feet each side of sidewalk.

Sidewalk trash zone you say...go back with the Minelab 8 inch coil trust me on this
