one hour early hunt

I drove by a spot today and got permission from the dozer driver to detect. First coin was a wheat, 1914, second was a 1907 V nickel, then a memorial, then a guy shows up and asks me to leave. We talked for a few minutes and I left. As I backed the truck out he ran in the road and stopped me saying he had called the owner and I had 30-45 minutes. Got out, cranked the CTX up, noise cancelled and first 3 feet got a 12-47/48 at about 3". Black, thick gumbo and I flipped the shovel over and there was a large silver coin. 1924 One Peso in exceptionally good condition. Total for an hour before I had to leave was a nice WW1 coat button, 2 memorials, one clad dime, 3 wheats (one 1914), a 1907 V nickel, a 1926 5 centavo, the '24 Peso, a 1927 Buff nickle, and a 1903 Barber dime. I was doing backflips!!

I went back this afternoon at around 5pm and they had covered the entire thing with about a foot of crushed concrete and were parking cars on it.
 
wow, that's cool that you got some great finds in ! To bad they covered everything up, makes you wonder how much stuff is under cover, i bet it is mind blowing for sure.
 
Nice save of coins that would have been lost forever!
