1856 House Yard Finds - 05-20-06

[bgscofield6]

I checked out a few spots today. The first spot I hit was some sidewalk tearups here in Muncie where they are redoing the 'projects.' I found 5 memorials and 1 wheat, a 1942D. Then I went and checked out a tiny, tiny front yard of a house that was built in 1901. I think it had been filled in. I only got 1 memorial out of it. Then I hit up a house that was built in 1856. The finds in the front yard were plentiful and the trash was very minimal. I finished the day with 45 memorials, 6 wheats (20, 29, 34, 37, and 44), an 1891 Indian Head Penny, 6 clad dimes, a 1944 Mercury Dime, my first ever Barber Dimes!!! They were 1898 and 1901 with no mintmarks, oh well on that. I also got 1 nickel and 3 clad quarters. Lots of coins for the day and my first ever Barbers. It was a great feeling to finally get one, and then to find my 2nd one just a foot away from it... wow! The deepest coin of the day was a wheat penny at 4", so ANY detector could have found these coins! Lee also found about 30 coins out of that front yard, including one 1942 Wheat penny.

That is what the hobby is all about. To detect a new virgin site is awesome. The thrill and excitement to unearth something that hasen't seen the light of day in a millentium is presious! Congrats and keep on going. Remember that it is there only if it is imagined that it is there. Do not question it otherwise you will create a roadblock boanddry that is! I look forward to seeing your next finds soon!

I agree with you there! When I first started this hobby I would see others find things and just think to myself that I wouldn't ever get that lucky. Lately I have been out-hunting the old timers and getting some goodies.
