My sister bought a home built in the early 1940s and is currently converting it into the office for their business. I had detected it last summer and found a few wheat pennies and a couple silver rosies.
They just tore out the old driveway and back concrete patio to put in an asphalt parking lot. I had a suspicion that the back patio was not original to the house. I was right! That back area was FULL of targets. Over 20 wheat pennies and 7 silver coins. Even a buffalo nickel in the front yard where the driveway used to meet the front lawn. Considering the dates on the coins, I would guess the back patio was poured in the late 60s or so. There were so many sweet signals, that I only took the time to take a few pictures. Quite a few interesting finds along with the coins. A Gerber baby spoon, hemweight, play money and a couple cool tokens. Remember Reddy Kilowatt?
I also dug a really interesting piece of jewelry with identifiers, but I am working on finding the original owner before I reveal it. Hope to be posting a jewelry return story soon.
