Hope I'm not hogging the trough here on posting, but did have a chance to do a couple of yards yesterday and today, Saturday, between rain showers. The first yard / home was ca 1938 on a large corner lot, real nice guy said go right ahead, so I jumped in! First signal was a Silver War Nickel, followed by a wheat cent, so I had a good vibe going on this! Things slowed down somewhat, with a few wheaties and then a Silver Rosie, along with some clad, followed by another Silver Rosie. I then headed back to the 1950s apt complex, and pulled a Sterling Ring, a few wheat cents, plenty of clad quarters and dimes, and a lot of nickels (in the hopes of finding a gold ring).
The second home was ca 1906, a nice couple gave me the go ahead, and the first coin was a 1908-S Barber Dime ( a decent scarce date). The next coin was a 1902 Indian Head cent, followed by a few wheat cents. The grass, even though flattened due to past snow, was thick, and there had definitely been some soil / organic matter added as all the old coins were about as deep as my AT Pro could go... about 8" on the Silver Dime. As the good targets were deep, I expanded my strike zone a bit, and pulled a "JAX HALL" token with cut out heart. Found out thru tokencatalog this one was from Lincoln Nebraska ca 1916. I was delighted to find a couple of Silver War Nickels in this yard, and the last cool find was a "MEMBER" lodge metal badge, possibly from the local Eagles Hall. The rain started up and thankfully I had just finished this last yard, so off to home. Happy to have made some good finds, thank you for your interest!
