Today I finally got the chance to re-hunt my cousins late 1800s home. I hunted this yard 3 yrs ago with my ace 250. This yard is really small, in town. And I simply cannot believe I could have missed all this stuff....lol
I guess the etrac really is that good! Anyhow I got 4 silver, 2 rosies, one 1937 Merc and a 1942 quarter. 2 indians 1880 and 1904. ......21 wheats. Only dug 3 clad coins, they were nickels. I did not find any old nickels even though I dug all nickel signals. The 1966 senior charm was from this yard as well.
After I felt I had this yard fairly picked over, I went back to a sidewalk tearout I started yesterday. Unfortunately the city dug TOO deep and signals were almost non existant. I managed 1 wheat to make a total of 22 wheats today, and I found my 3rd indian for the day, 1867....wouldn't you know it, someone gouged a hole right in the middle of it!
Also got the good luck token, and the 4 cent token. I found it is from Van Wert Packing Co.

Seriously though, that sure looked to be a fun and productive hunt. Congrats!!!
