Went back to my mom's boyfriend's house today to hit the front yard and side of the house. He told me it was built around 1910, it's a double lot and looks as though there was another home between him and his neighbor at some point. In the beginning he made a joke about finding enough money to go to McDonald's. So, for the rest of the day, every time I found clad I would give it to him and say " looks like we found some more cheeseburger money" I must admit having a man his age follow me around getting excited and acting like a eight year old kid every time I dug a target was kinda funny and yet creepy at the same time.
It was good fun and I may have a future hunting buddy. I found 13 more wheats. Seems every other target was a wheat cent I was almost tired of digging them. Then the silver started coming. I hit two rosies maybe six inches apart. I the got a 1890 "V" nickel. It's red and pretty worn. The usual clad and trash n between the good stuff. I first thought the silver ring was a hose clamp but after a few minutes of looking the "sterling" stamp showed itself. The 1902 Barber quarter came in loud and clear no doubt about that one. The big surprise was the 1942 Walker. I was getting a mixed signal of dime and iron. I was thinking trash but hoping to squeak out a dime. Popped the plug and seen the shiny rim sticking out the side wall double checked the hole with the pro pointer and was still getting a hit. I thought "pocket spill" , nope, it was a big rusted iron bolt. It was about two inches to the right of the Walker and about an inch or so deeper.
I also dug a 1891 Indian before I called it a day. Sorry about the bad pics , wife has the camera and I made do with my crappy phone.
