Farm yard surrenders 4 silver and 14 wheats

[Goes4ever]

Friday after work BadJim and I went door knocking....we knocked on 4 or 5 houses and no one was home, we call that the friday nite curse! Well we spied another one, the grass was 7-8" tall, but it was old, we knocked and someone was actually home and gave us permission.

Started hitting wheats right off the bat, second dig was a spill of 6 wheats, then I get a deep bouncy signal that was kinda like a wheat signal, but would go up to iron, I dug anyhow and about 8" down out pops this well worn barber dime. Go a few more minutes and I get a solid signal where it appears an old sidewalk used to be. I get the ODDEST pocket spill I can ever remember digging
2 memorial pennies both 1960
1 wheat penny
1951 rosie
1944 merc
and 2 nails!...lol

I then got a screaming 11-47 and at 3" I get the barber quarter, this baby is TOAST, it was black and had crust on it, I think it went thru a fire.

Jim got a bunch of wheats, silver, buffalo......man another GOOD farm yard. And I know we missed stuff because a lot of areas the grass was so tall we couldn't get into it.

Still kept my silver streak alive! I think this maybe the longest I have ever went with so many consecutive hunts digging silver.

I see you found another nice farm yard, wtg Terry

you know as much as we chat I have never asked you as to what you say when you try to get permission and I have always wanted to. Now I know and it is pretty much the same as I do. One thing I would like to add is. If ppl ask you about the value of coins just tell them that they have no real value because they were in the ground and most old coins have no real value anyhow, we do it just for the enjoyment of finding older coins.

thanks for posting that Terry, I'm sure it will be a lot of help to a lot of ppl here.
