When I first started door knocking on old house's to detect, I found that someone had already detected most of them. 2 years ago I got permission to detect an 1880's 2 story Victorian. I was told it had already been done by two guys and that they found all sorts of silver and other oldies too. I thought for sure there was nothing left for me and my Bounty Hunter so I detected around for half an hour and moved on empty handed. Well, fast forward 2 years.
I had found multiple wheaties and IHP's in different lawns that those same guys had already detected so I knew they we're not very efficient. So I decided to five that 1880's victorian another shot. I walked straight over to the walnut on the south side of the house where I soon popped a 1935 merc... I couldn't believe it. In the 10x10ft area I ended up finding 2 mercs, 3 IHP's, several wheaties, and my 1st V Nickel [1883]( I haven't even found a buff yet so I was pretty surprised)
I have only found 7 silver coins so this was crazy to me to find two in 1 spot. I couldn't believe it either when I revealed the 1883 date on my fist V nickel. It just goes to show that persistence pays off no matter what you're swinging, Nox or BH.
TQ for looking and HH
And yes, I took the pics on a deer hunting pamphlet
