WOW! Congrats on some nice coins Tom. Must have been fun! Wouldn't it be nice to find a place like that to hunt once a month....or once a week...ahh don't get greedy now.
Awesome finds Tom, and thanks for taking us along! However, I am somewhat disappointed that there’s no “insitu” pics.In a certain city near me, an old-town district building was torn down.
First day : 2 seated dimes ('77 cc and '74), 4 barber dimes ('99s, '03 O, '08, '14D), 2 standing quarters (1918 & ??), 2 V nickels ('03 & '07), 2 buffalos, a hosed shield nickel, 3 war nickels, 4 mercs, , a '44 Washington Q, and 20 wheaties .
Went back the next day to scrounge for leftovers. Got a '97 IH, a '35 merc, and 2 more wheaties.
My buddy got a 1900 barber quarter, an 1891 seated quarter, a '72 half dime, misc. barber dimes and wheaties and a shield nickel.
That would be a legendary search for 95% of the people on here - but in your legendary career it's a "nice" :-)
Congratulations on those incredible finds, I enjoyed imagining the old tavern setup and guys dropping a few coins while deep into the whiskey

Incredible finds Tom, you know the three L’s and then some. Congrats!
Great research paid off again, well done!
Great finds right there Tom, and timing is everything!
Great clearing of tear out! I would have been beside myself! What you did was clear/ clean out all of the history that was spilled 100 years ago, and to this,... I salute you sir
Awesome!!!
....If you dont mind sharing, what was your approach in getting permission? Or was this a stealth job? ...
So....did you hop the fence ?

.... Last year I had a similar situation....
Great finds Tom. You hunted after the crew left for the day , which left you a couple hours of daylight. We often talk about night hunting. How many hours did you hunt the 1st trip ? Well into the night ? Headlamps ? Because on your 2nd trip , they moved dirt. Not as good. Seems like you could have gotten more if you hunted longer the 1st trip. Knowing this possibility from your "demo" friend , why not hunt a solid 8 hours or so and clean out that 50x75 lot the 1st time there ?
Wow two seated dimes!!!! Man you guys on the left coast are spoiled!!!!! ...
Well .... OF COURSE ! We do not waste our time with "pesky large cents" out here
