Finally got to hunt some .....Yahoo....

I have had a long hard summer. With very little time to hunt and when I did have time to hunt, it was hot and ground like concrete. When I get a new customer that I think has a yard that will produce some, I ask them for permission to hunt it. I was wiring a security system in a neighboring town and ask them if I could hunt. They said sure just if you find gold we split it. House is near 100 years old. I hunted the front and was only finding sausage cans. When I moved to the side a little and started finding pennies at 7-8 inches. Three to be exact. All from the sixties. Then I found a dime at the same depth, a 1992 rosie. I only had a few minutes to hunt before my next job. As I came along the side of the porch I get a broken tone. High but not just right for silver or a good coin. Yet, knowing me I just got to find out what it was. So I dig, and I dig and I dig, finally in the bottom of the hole is a black coin shaped object. I pull it out and remove a little dirt, I see what looks like a reale, so I hope, I turn it over and it is a modern coin. What I don't know. But when I get it home and look it is a 1922 One Shilling. What a nice coin.

I sure have been lucky this summer only been hunting ten times and eight times I have gotten silver. That is a great percentage. I Happy Hunting Everyone.
 
Good digs Bernie ! Don't think I have ever dug one of them. Hope you can get out more now, steve in so az
 
It amazes me some of the coins that I have dug around this area. We are not a major trade route or any thing just good old rural america.. I have found several british large pennies, now a british sterling. Rennie, my nephew, dug a french 1951 coin the other day. It always amazes me what comes out of the ground. Thanks Steve.
