A woman called me, a couple of years ago, and asked me if I would come over to her, deceased, Mother's home to locate the property stakes as she was selling the house for the estate. I knew that the house sat in a subdivision of, only, four homes that were built in, what used to be, a very old park with a pavilion. She stated that the Pavilion sat in her Mother's yard and the yard of the neighbor's home. I said "yes" and asked if I could walk around with my metal detector. She said "sure" and it didn't take me long to get there. I located stakes and proceeded to scan the property with my detector. In two days, I dug up 14 INDIAN HEAD CENTS, ranging from 1864 to 1907, 2 TWO CENT PIECES, 1865 & 1868, one 1901 BARBER QUARTER, one1875 SEATED LIBERTY QUARTER, five SEATED LIBERTY DIMES, ranging from 1876 to 1878, and eighteen WHEAT CENTS, ranging from 1910 to 1946. A nice 1872 Indian head was, also found, there, but isn't in the picture. By the way, IN ONE HOLE, I dug out the TWO CENT PIECES(back to back), and three of the Indian Head cents. I thought that I was Metal Detecting Heaven. The neighbors were out of state but their Brother in Law said it would be ok to hunt. By the way, I use a Garrett GTI2500 detector.
 
Man, that was metal detector heaven!!!!
 
wow swanie, great digs! is the 1901 quarter a 1901 s? they are super rare and valuable in any condition. so is the 1913 s. i believe you did catch a glimpse of metal detecting heaven! nice finds, and i'm glad you posted them. hh,
 
i can't imagine how exciting that would be to have a hunt like that! great job!!!
 
GREAT FINDS !!!!
Years ago I discovered where an old Chautauqua grounds used to be.I did manage to find a few old coins dating back like those,but the park custodians home had been built right in the middle of the area.His house,yard and shops covered most of it.
