I headed up to Missoula yesterday and today, and got into two good yards, one each day. The first home was built in 1921, with decent sized front yard. Very nice lady said to detect the whole yard, so I did scan the backyard too. Not too many coins but the yard started out well with a choice 1903 Indian Head Cent. Followed that up with a 1917 wheat cent and 1920 wheat cent. Also turned up a .925 Sterling "LIVE LAUGH LOVE" ring. The last good coin was a 1916-S Barber Dime, so very happy with that!
Today I got permission at a beautiful large corner lot, built in the 1930s. Lots of coins in this yard... started out with a couple of wheat cents, then a small Sterling ring, then a Merc Dime, then 1941 Washington Silver Quarter, then Merc Dime, and then Silver War Nickel, with wheat cents mixed in. All on one side of the front yard. The very nice man came out and saw how carefully I restored the lawn after removing a coin, and gave me the OK for the whole yard. A Silver Rosie came out of the side yard, and near the house in the backyard I got a nice smooth 92-95 signal on my AT Pro. About 7" down out came a beautiful 1921 Morgan Silver Dollar! Wow... very happy with how this hunt was turning out! That was about it for good coins, I ended up with 19 wheat cents from this yard. Also found a neat "BIGGEST LITTLE CITY IN THE WORLD / RENO NEVADA" large copper medallion, a Pizza token, and what looks like part of a Silver Bracelet. One target rang up like a large copper memorial, and out popped a string of copper memorial cents that had been welded together near edge to edge! Have never found anything like that before! I have not shown all the clad quarters, dimes and copper cents. Very happy with my finds, my 2nd Silver Dollar in the last three hunts here in Montana, thank you for your interest!
