Went out in Richmond Va today to a house I got permission to hunt with the hopes of the neighborhood being close enough to Cold Harbor to find some civil war goodies. I didn't find any civil war relics this time but the home site was old enough to deliver some nice finds. I dug a 1954 dime and didn't realize it until I was able to clean it up some because it was so black. The place used to be a farm so I'm guessing the fertilizer from over the years has toasted the soil. I came across my best coin spill when I cut a plug for a signal that was jumpy on the display of my ctx but my ears told me it sounded damn good and to dig it. At the bottom there lay 3 wheat pennies in the same hole in a perfect stack: 1936, 1940, 1944. In the end I dug a lot of neat items but the ones worth mentioning were the 6 wheats, 1 silver rosie, 2 tokens (sunoco antique car collector series and a minute auto laundry car wash token), 2 pendants ( lake placid new York and the Lord is my Shepard), fake gold locket with Washington DC and the nation's capital on it, and a Ruby Red Avon lipstick tube.
