finds from an old yard I've been hunting

[kansas_roger]

I started hunting the yard of an old house in NE Kansas a couple of weeks ago. You can tell by the wood work and the old in-ground swimming pool that this house was owned by someone very wealthy. My first day hunting there was March 31. I ended up pulling 4 Wheat cents, a 1906 Indian head penny, a 1942 Mercury dime, and a 1945 Washington quarter. I also got a pretty cool trade token for 2 1/2 cents to a billiards hall. My second trip over was this past Saturday. I spent the entire day there, and all I ended up with was an 1881 Indian head penny (my oldest penny to date) and a 1908 Indian head penny. I did not realize there was a run of those with a San Francisco mint mark, so I'll have to check mine after work. Sunday I went back for a pretty full day, and I pulled 4 more Wheat cents, an 1895 Indian head penny, and a 1964 Washington quarter. I still have over 50% of the yard to hunt, but I don't think it will produce as much. I did get some video, but I'm still working on putting that together. The most amazing thing is that I have only found 1 clad coin. One clad coin to 14 keepers is an awesome ratio I'd like to keep up.

great bunch of keepers there. i'd dig all deep targets in that yard and also would go across the productive areas in booth directions

yeah, now that we got a little bit of rain, I plan on spending all day Sunday there. Supposed to be mostly sunny and 70's.

THAT'S A GREAT SITE. YOU NEED TO HUNT IT TO DEATH MANY DIRECTIONS AND MANY TIMES. HH-MARK
