Got to hunt the old house again.Slowed way down.Hunting in coin and jew..auto sens.I got a lot of unuasal junk in the rear of the house. An old detective badge.A silver spoon with an H. engraved on it Old Company Plating.Then along the side of the yard I hear silver a 1943 Merk. then another 1929 Merk.And another a 1912 Barber dime,I've been over this area 5 times already. How could I have missed them.
Then in the front yard I get a nickel signal, oh yea.. a V nickel 1891,and 1901 What a yard this has been.Gave the home owner her share of the finds,she was very excited with all the finds.She coulden't believe all the history I dug up in a few short hours.More than 90 coins from that yard.Many 1800's Also found a cool old military button Says [ cadet U.S.M.A. ] And lots of other cool relics.Now for the house next door ??? Sending pics hope it works

Nice recoveries. What's the history on the detective badge?

 

[KinTN]

Yeah, was there a body under it or anything?

 

[kschae4]

Dave, what kind of deal did you make with the homeowner when you gave her "her share of the finds"?

 

[Dave400]

The home owner wanted anything related to the house's history.I gave her the silver cuff links cause they had a ( H ) on them.also the badge from the centenial jubilee ( circa 1906 ).Half the silver dimes ( 4 )including the oldest barber 1897 cause it shows the age of the house.HALF THE INDIAN PENNIES (8 )THE OLDEST 1891.Some of the nickles back to 1900.ALL THE CLAD. The lead indian and horse toys.I ended up keeping 15 SILVERS. 2 halves 1908,1898,7dimes back to 1929, 2 V nickles 1891,1901,1 barber quarter 1908,8 indians back to 1883.It was one of the best hunts Iv'e ever had.The home owners decided to give me $ 40.00 for all my hard work digging and cleaning.Not bad at all...She was blown away with all the history I dug up in a few hours.But hey thats the fun of it right ?

Seemed like alot to part with at first read, but I guess your digs, the cash for working and the thrill of the hunt sure made it worthwhile. Congrats again.
