So a new found detecting friend and I found a whole city street that is being torn down. A total of 10 homes from the early 1900’s are being torn down to make way for a shopping center. Well, after hours of hunting very trashy front yards and curb strips, I ended up with a total of $1.08 including 4 Wheaties and 1 1968 Kennedy half. Also ended up with a pretty cool ornament of some type...maybe from and old wall sconce or lamp.

I thought we’d find more silver but it seems that either someone hunted the area before, the grass was too long (Limiting depth) or the people of this area were quite poor and held onto their money very well.

Hopefully when they tear the homes down and scrape the Earth we can head back and give it one last go before it’s all paved over.
