Last Sunday I happened across an older home where all the sod had been skimmed off a large area around the house (I think the house will be demolished soon). I posted uncleaned finds and photo of the house on 10/6/14 "Best detecting day in a while - by accident".
I had a chance to clean and id the other day.
It was an exciting hunt because of the number and variety of targets and I had a blast! Not much junk and only a couple modern coins.
Total coins 14 - all but one were 1700's-1800's. I would have liked more silver but I ain't complainin' lol
Half reale 1781 (weak mint strike on the obverse), KG II 1720, Draped LC 1798, Draped LC 1802, Flying Eagle 1858, six IHs (1864, 1868, 1873, 1889, 1890, 1895), CW token 1864 Union Forever, Store Token - A Heinze Quart, Canadian LC 1917.
Also found 16 misc. buttons, 1915 dog license, two pocket watches, cuff link, suspender buckle.
Thanks for sharing. Bruce
