I have wanted to hunt this house for a few years now but didn't figure I could get permission. I introduced myself and told him what I did. He then told me it had been detected around a dozen times over the years. Usually that is I don't want you to detect saying. But I ask him any way[do you care if I give it a try?] He said he guessed I could try but I wouldn't find much as the last guy just found junk and some corroded batteries. I told him I would show him if I found any good stuff. Well since he said it had been hunted that much and he had lived there over 80 years[he was raised here]I put on my 6 inch dd coil. I liked to have never found a clean spot to ground balance. I finally did and after a couple minutes dug my first target a 1951 nickel. I thought are you kidding that was missed, then a couple minutes later a wheat penny. Then a 1943s silver nickel. I ended up digging 7 wheats and several other coins three buttons. One has a duck on it one is tiny with a flower on the front and the other I cant tell much about. The coolest coin I dug was a 1948 wheat with a bullet hole through it. This was one of the best yards I have detected as I only detected the side yard and for only a couple hours. My leg started getting sore so I decided to go. I showed him my finds and he couldn't believe it. I didn't figure he would let me hunt again and I wanted to finish the yard bad but I was sore and I needed to spend time with my family.I asked him if I could detect it again sometime and he said that was enough. I thanked him as I was blessed to have one chance. I thought wow that yard had never seen a minelab and a small coil before. The yard was very trashy but I only dug about 5 trash items believe it or not. I think that is a record on trash dug for me.
