Old House and Garage Hunt

[mrhvmd]

Jen and I detected an abandoned house and garage yesterday. The garage was a repair shop with a sideline as a candy store. Neither have been occupied in probably 50 years and never had plumbing. Although still standing both are in sad shape. Old cars and trucks well beyond restoring are scattered about. Needles to say, trash signals abound. Nothing of real value uncovered but a few items of interest and some fun finds. Jen got into a nest of small bobbles and buttons and spent a couple hours just working with her pinpointer. My best find was the Saint Christopher visor pin. There are a few examples to be found online. Jen found a nice thimble (not sterling) and a gold plated pendant. She almost threw away the bible marker as scrap but then cleaned it up and voila!

Sounds like an interesting place...I wonder if theres old silver coins under the rear seats of old cars from the early 60's-50's? Every car I get and pop the rear seat has change that spilled and got lost down under there... Nice hunting!
