Got permission to hunt this old house I go by on the way to work.I new it was old cause of the shape.While I was hunting it the neighbor came over to see what I had found, and told me they think it was made around 1830. That made me very excited.The first hunt I started in the front yard. After a while I got an indian signol and sure enough a nice indian 1865.Well I about fell over.It was in great shape too.A nice green patina.I kept on hunting and headed for the apple trees.
I slowed down so not to miss anything.Then I get a high sound like a quarter a 39. When I dig the plug I see a large disk.Kind of greenish.Large cent!! Now I'm really slobbering.So I take it over to a bucket of water to rince it off, and the date says 1829 ! Yea!! not to bad of shape.THe date was easily readable.
Now it's getting hard to go slow.Eight feet away I get another 39 high pitch. At 7 inches I see another green disk.Large cent. So I rince it off.And oh boy 1810.This is where I passed out.I had just found my two oldest large cents. I new this house would be good.
After 3 hunts I've found 2 Indians , 2 large cents , A buckle from the civil war that says '' U S '' on it.a silver rosie 1946 , a silver quarter 1956 with a 1956 rosie in the same hole , and a small silver religious charm. And Lots of junk stuff.
Houses like this don't come to often, but when you find one it sure makes for some great hunting.Got some pics I'll get them up soon. HH
