Got permission to hunt a house in my neighborhood that was built in 1950. I searched the front yard on Saturday and found a few clad coins but nothing old at all other than a Tootsie Toy Roadster. I really was shocked because I have found silvers in the curb strips close to the house. I was really beginning to think that the house had probably been cherry picked by somebody since most of my finds from the front were pennies. Well today was a different story. I came home from work and was really hurting from my RA and immediately took some pain medication and relaxed for a couple of hours. I got to feeling better and decided to go hunt the back yard of the residence.I was using the Xterra 705 with the 5X10 DD coil, I dug a few copper pennies and then got a nice solid 40 signal and was thinking dime but it ended up being a 1942 wheat penny. Things were looking up !!! A couple of signals later, I got a nice 42 signal that said it was about 6 inches deep. I dug a flap and the 1961 D Washington was in the flap. Things were even better. I hunted for about an hour and a half total and found a 1942 and 1951 wheat and a 1948 Rosie to go with the silver Washington. I also found a total of 9 other pennies, the top to a pen, some kind of speaker (think it came out of old style phone), and several parts of a n old toy cap gun. Here are the photos.
