I'm thinking about taking my new Garrett propointer and go out to this old church. It has a little crawlspace door where you can crawl through and go under the building. I'd be on my belly but could hunt everything under the church, in case they lost some coins when they built the church or if any coins ever fell through the cracks. It's an 1850's church. Anyone do anything similar?

If cabin fever's got you down, you might hunt the dirt floor in the basement of an old house. You'd be surprised what kids lost while playing on those days it was too nasty for them to go outside. Not to mention the opportunity to find the "stash" the old man could have buried there. Lots of folks thought buring their money in their own house was much safer than putting it in the bank, back in the 30's. HH Randy
I talked to a minister who once preached at an old country church and when the main floor began to sag, he had carpenters go in underneath to put in new props and when they came up they handed him a partial handful of old silver coins which they found in the dirt while installing the new props. The church had a tongue and groove hardwood floor at that time, but originally it must have had rough cut lumber on the floors allowing dropped coins to fall thru the cracks to the dirt below. The minister allowed me to search the outside grounds, but never found a single coin. Later on found out several really dedicated metal detectorists hunting together had cleaned the place out a few years before I had got there. Apparently the carpenters had to go thru the floor or the outside stone foundation to get underneath, so I never got the opportunity to check things out under it.
