went hunting this afternoon with the wife

Got permission to hunt a 1928 house and hit half the front yard today. Discovered that half the area had been dug up by the city a little while ago for utilities rebuild and it was barren the rest was well littered with very old type roofing nails, kinda like bottle caps but harder to hear. The payoff was a handful of seventies change but under an old oak tree 8" down and under a large root (took some creative digging) hit a 1920 wheat. Property owner planted that tree sixty years ago. Hope to keep pushing those dates back!

Maybe the side yard will be better next time..

Don,t suppose you'd share it?

Only our fourth hunt! Seems like the front porch, the walk to the curb and shade tree had the coins. I plan on covering all the yard eventually.

Old home sites are my favorite places to hunt. Glad y'all were able to get out to do a lil diggin. Congrats on that wheatie!
