Found A Few Coins The Other Day

[E-Trac-Ohio]

We have about 6" of snow on the ground here in Ohio - so swinging the machine's gotten really tough.The other day I noticed that they started pushing off the snow in a local field for the construction of a new Dollar Store in our town. I asked one of the machine operators if I could hunt the exposed grass area before they pushed the topsoil off - he said sure go ahead.
It's was a pretty big area so I decided to just dig silver numbers - maybe even find some silver jewelry. It was nice to swing on grass again - didn't find any old coins but I did dig nine clad dimes, quarters and one nickel. Sure was good to see FE 12 - CO 47 on the screen again !

You gonna try and hunt it again, after they push the topsoil off Mark? Might be worth "diggin" into.

I'm planining on going back to the Dollar Store site - I already did hunt some of the area where the topsoil was pushed off - problem is - in most spots the topsoil was about 16" - 18" deep.
I also tried swing over some of the piles of topsoil they already pushed up. I'm sure theres old coins at this site - I'll just have to put some more hours in and hope I get lucky.
