Hello All,
I saw that they were getting ready for sod at the construction project near me. They haven't removed as much dirt as they have on some other sites; not sure they are going to or not. If they do I will be back. But for now that translates in to less older finds.

Found a few wheats and the indian heads trickled in. I didn't get the silver until about the last moment. Coin at the top of the picture is a 1920 Cuban 5 Centavos. As usual with construction you need to dig about everything cause depth don't mean much. Had a good handful of clad also.

Found this neat jackknife, Remington UMC, with a ladies' shoe for a handle. Blade is maybe an inch long. Don't think they were Marine Corp. standard issue.

Also dug about my thinnest Merc today, here is the reverse. I believe it is an 1918, but that is a bit of a guess.
I asked for and received permission at a couple of more houses, but believe I will wait for rain before detecting, bit too dry now. These are both older houses on corner lots, should be great locations but seems lately the more excited I am about a site the worse I do. I'm sure I'm not the first yahoo with a detector that has lusted after a lawn and asked for permission. Hopefully the Explorer can at least sniff out what the others left behind.
