If he did, you could end up caught in the middle of a foreclosure.

It is in foreclosure.
 
You should be able to tell the difference in Tone when you swing over Silver since most cases the Signal will be a bit louder than what the Penny sounds like. It will take time to learn the Tones for sure but as you get out more and more with the Explorer, your finds will increase and hopefully the Silver also. Work a Pattern at that site and your finds will increase also. Good Luck and HH on your next hunt.:super:

wow! You're right. This is what I found out about it. it even has the "Gilt" on the back and the more I look at in the back it is an old button with a slight patina on it. Man, this thing is at least 160 years old! That place I am hitting is virgin territory. I am finishing my breakfast and I'll be swinging away today.

""The vast majority of "plain-faced" one-piece buttons of this particular type (with a "Gilt" backmark) were manufactured for use on civilian clothing ...between approximately 1790 and 1840. This is why they are found (in significant quantities) even around remote churches, house-yards, and farm-fields where military personnel are unlikely to have ever set foot. Large quantities of this type button were made in England and imported to the US in the very early 1800s ...until American button-making companies got "well-established" enough to produce large quantities on their own.

In the 1840s these plain-faced one-piece type buttons declined enormously in popularity because much more "ornate" two-piece buttons had become available at a price an ordinary working-class family (including farmers) could easily afford."

At one point which I forgot to mention is that yesterday I was digging something on the site near the sidewalk and I look over and a cop car is just idling there right next to me. He came from behind me. I thought to myself, "Ok, here it goes. I am going to have to tell him I got permission from the neighborhood park authority" which I did but he just drove off. What I am seeing and I think most newbie MD experience is that we paint everyone telling us we can't MD when the 95% of the time it is not even an issue. People who walked by me didn't even bat an eyelash.
 
Only got to spend about a few hours there as I had to go back and forth from my house. Nothing spectacular, 1993P Rosie & 1969 penny. I'll hit it again later on next week.
 
Well, hopefully the bank won't try to give you all the boot.

I've read some stories of that sort of thing happening, where the tenants are all paid up but the landlord defaults, and all of a sudden somebody shows up with an eviction notice. Probably depends on the law in your locale and whether the outfit servicing the mortgage are idiots.
 
I got some clad and 1 wheatie, 1945. The older section of the park I will be hitting soon. It has a natural stream and some big old trees throughout
 
I am also going to go AM except nails as I have been disc pull tabs, crowncap & screwcaps and after reading more about the stuff I could be leaving behind it's time to really learn the machine. Now I am starting to wonder if I left any goodies on the section I've already covered. I'm tempted to go back over it and see.
 
Now I am getting into the well cut lawn area and it cuts as smooth as butter as opposed to what I have been digging through lately at this site. It was rooty, crab grass saturated dirt that required more of a shovel than a small digger to punch through.
 
If you are getting wheaties at 7" this tells me you are on your way to finding lots of goodies.
Don't forget to dig things that sound odd to you. Sometimes these weird sounding objects are co-located with silver or gold rings or coins co-located with trash.
 
I was at that area yesterday and I said I was going to work that area with AM/ferrous tones but I started working another area. I should go back over that area with AM/ferrous tones and work it really thorough. I think many of those wheaties came from when they were building the waterway which I see from a plaque on side it was built in 1939. There are many coins in that waterway too. Majority of them look modern but you never know. I was seriously contemplating wading through there and doing some swinging but someone would call the police for sure when it looks odd and it's 39
