Looking in unusual places

As the season opens be sure to keep in mind that all finds are not in obvious places. Here's some I have found in not your usual sites.
This CW rosette (went on a horse's bridle) was dug in a very modern rodeo arena. No doubt someone using great gramps tack.

When you check houses do you check the sides and maybe the back alley ? This gold plated Buffalo nickel was out back in the alley.

A stretch of very hard dirt & rock along the street produced this Barber dime. The ground was so hard I had to pick it out.

Lastly, in a vacant lot I saw some rubble and checked trhrough it. This glasses case was there & it is stamped Sterling. So keep your options open as well as your mind this season & good luck, steve in so az

Wow great finds!!!!
 
of school yards that have land and hillsides surrounding them when not private property. I hunted a hillside outside of the school grounds fence of a Junior High School and found lots of coins where the kids ate their lunch or played during breaks~ The places are limitless unless needing permission; so if needed, be brave and ask as they can only say NO, but hopefully YES!! :cheekkiss:

God Bless!

Terrific post, Steve...

I never saw a more beautiful Barber dime...I'll never find one in that condition! :cry:
 
Love the glasses case! :)
 
Due to your tutelage, I most definitely look "outside the box" when it comes to detecting. I've had some great finds in areas where no one in their right mind would want to hunt :lol: Last spring, I literally crawled on my hands and knees through brush and bramble (bled like a pig from thorns) just to find some buttons, a couple of LC's and my oldest coin, a William and Mary half cent circa 1694. Nothing comes easy in life and MD'ing is no different ;)
