A demo-ed house was vacated and I moved in. I was getting 6" deep green memorials cents. not a good sign. That means the good stuff is deeper. No relics or old pieces of metal. After 1 1/2 it was time to move on. This is the last house at the top of the hill. Not real old but it could hold some silver. It had two strange rock things setting in the yard. One is in the shade on the side yard and the other is in the back.

This is looking down the street standing in the same place I took the other picture. The first six houses in the picture I have already MD'ed. No one lives in those houses.

Never found much today, in two weeks they will demo these houses and scrape the ground. I alway do better and find the deeper loot. I thought this was part of a pocket watch, but my dad doesn't think so. He said it is too heavy. It's the right size.

I found a Hubly flint lock cap gun. Hubly made cap guns from 1920 to 1965.

There was a family moving out of an old home farther down the street. A nice old home.
I didn't want to brother them while they were moving, but in a few days I will be MD'ing it. I don't have to worry about someone beating me to it. I have been doing this for a year here and I have seen no one else MD'ing. Did see some old stones in the grass. Looks like an old foundation. Might be where the square nail and the iron ring came from. This is the total.
