Semi Old Yard Finds

[seek2find3]

I got permission to detect an early 1900's house and came up with the following keepers. No silver as far as coins, but did manage a few wheats from the early to mid 20's. The dog almost looks like a game piece. Maybe back when Monopoly used actual metal pieces? Another dog tax tag. I always thought those were pretty cool to find, with the exception that the dog is not still attached of course. Thankfully that hasn't happened yet. The pin I am not sure about. It is about the size of a half dollar. Thanks for looking, now get out there and start digging.

You need to be posting more pictures if you are coming up with stuff like this!

HaHa!! Thanks Gregg. I am new to the camera and posting, but I am going to try and post as much as I can now.

Seriously I love that dog tag! We need someone to post some pics! I am sure everyone is bored looking at my clad finds!

Not me, I am impressed with your clad count. I use it as motivation to keep digging. I have a lot more pictures from the last few weeks. I will try to trickle them in. I found two other dog tax tags that I will post soon. Thanks for the encouraging words.

My arms are sore, my back stiff, I think I am getting clad burnout! But thanks I think it is an advantage to be able to dig during the week in the mornings (working midnights). Seems like a lot of surface clad in my local parks, my finds are mainly 0.0 to 3.5...4.0

A few bums at the parks I hunt have even had some excellent days eyeballing coins! One claimed he had found 71 coins in a day once!!!
But...he did look a little drunk!

Another lady different day same park came up to me even though I was trying to ignore her with some junk jewelry she had found in the tot lot claiming it was gold with diamonds.....it was obviously fake and i dropped it on ground...got no reading and just to get rid of her said....yes!!! yes!! I think you have something valuable there, go to a jeweler. Thank god she left!

HaHa!! Now that is funny. You must find more rings than most others though, right? I have had a few 100+ coin days and I know that I was sore afterwards. Where did you say you were from again? I am in Rochester, NY.

I am in Illinois, the big city with over 2,000,000 people! The only prblem with finding a lot of clad is as my numbers rise even though it has been gradual I have a lot of people on other forums making comments. I am thinking of removing my coin counter if it keeps up. I notice a few others that were having a good clad year did. I am just getting out hitting a lot of suburban parks and have 50 parks within driving distance. i work 10 at a time and they always seem to have enough when I go back. keep in mind when I do have 100 coin days there are a ton of pennies. I would rather have a day like i did yesterday with 69 coins and over $6 in clad, then over 100 coins and just over $6 in clad. There are pennies and tons of them everywhere I hunt! They are a pain in the butt! I think there are more pennies then pulltabs and the suburban parks have more coins then trash!
