1937 good or bad

[RounderRick]

Where I live is like a little village with 9 cottages and was built in 1937 and the road out front was one of the main roads back in it's day and from the maps shows it could possibly have also been the road used by soldiers back in the civil war going from Jackson to Denmark which they used a lot.
Anyways I've hunted my yard and a few of the others and as for coins have only found moden clad with several copper pennies pre 1982 but no wheaties but I can't hardly move the coil without a beep but it all seems to be junk I have dug a lot of the old style pull tabs so seems there's prob a ton of them scattered all through the village.
I thought for sure when we moved here if I detected I would surely find some silver here but no such luck so far ( I been here a year now) but I still can't help but thinking there has to be at least one or two pieces of silver somewhere on a site this old as I was also told this was a booming area several years ago.
Could all these tabs and junk be masking the goodies or is 1937 just not an old enough place to be searching for older coins?
Just wanted your thoughts would you dig some of the trash like maybe grid an area and see if you could pick up on something deeper all I've ever hunted was parks until I moved here and been wanting to get into some relic hunting plus looking for old coins so I'm still new at that.

Hey Rick---that village is even older than me, so there has gotta be old coins there! ------Seriously, I was born in 1939 and a kid buddy of mine & I would go down town on Sunday morn. to look for lost coins from the night before (after the Saturday night gatherings in our small town).---It would get kind of "wild" on those Saturday nights at times & we would walk the street looking for (and finding) wheats & silver coins.---So there HAD to be some of those coins that got down into the ground at my town (and at your village).------A lot of the area where we found those coins was bare dirt (and still is).----So if your area hasn't changed (in that regard), I'd say that there is a chance for (some) coins in it.------Sometimes you just have to use a small coil & get the junk out before you can get the "good stuff". -----------Del

Thanks Del, Here's a pic I found on the internet of the cottages listed in the old hotels of the town and a pic I took recent when we had snow on the ground as you can see the place is the same just years older.
The ends use to be like a garage but all of them was later turned into kitchen areas with large windows installed the one I live in is the first one on the left you see in the first pic.
From the accross the large window out you can't get very deep they just covered the old driveways and it's some hard digging.

Rick, has the ground been built up with a overlay of dirt? It kinda looks like it has from what I can see in the picture. In relation to the level of the paved street. Just my 2 cents observation.

Looks like that is mostly fill from the picture. Can you hunt any of the fringe areas. or any fields close to you. Look for low areas next to the filled & graded land. Branch out a little for the Silver finds.. [size=x-large]Good Luck !![/size]

No that was the pic from years ago when it was the main road the bank is still about the same now it might have been built up b4 the houses was built I don't know but even if they did as old as it is you would think something would be there.
The sign you see was the drive coming in and the stone walls is still here just broken up some but on the left side of the drive where I live is pretty level with the road I mow both these yards and mine I can mow all the way to the pavement but the one on the right have to use the string trimmer just a little to steep for the rider.
