New old home site produces nice old silver.

These are my finds from four hunts at a new homestead site.

This would have been rivited to a PA licence plate between the years 1910 and 1915

...... okay now that the backslapping is done, tell us how you found this spot - so we can apply some of the lessons to out home areas.

Real Old Real Good Find!
A very fortunate spot you've discovered.
Would bet the first glimpse of the seated will be tattooed on your brain forever.
A lot of history happens in a hundred and seventy years.

Great finds and a very nice collection bud.

I looked in local news papers from the turn of the century, studied old maps, and I had some great help from a great friend.

It's quite possible that people were born, lived long happy lives and expired, all while that coin was lying in the dirt. Mind blowing

I responded to this post last night and it never made it to the thread. That seated dime is a cracker! I'm still waiting for that particular coin type in my collection of finds. Great relics too.

I reckon this Saturday I'll try out one of my silver sites and see what comes up. I need to start looking for some new sites, myself. I may save that until 2010. There's still loads to find at my current rotation of sites.
