Farmhouse Visit 3 - Unexpected But Welcome Find

[F350Platinum]

Today was kind of a nasty day, windy and light mist from time to time. Went to my new farmhouse permission, hoped that everyone finding silver coins would somehow rub off. 😀

I'm hunting this large grass cul de sac that the house stood behind. It's pretty large, about a half acre. The grass is really high. I may bring my mower here to cut it so I can find stuff more easily, but today I toughed it out.

Did pretty well, went up and down the road, found a couple of coin spills, one with two quarters, two nickels and a dime. Went back to the circle and went back and forth over it wading through the grass with sensitivity at 24. Got all this today:

A 1979 Mattel hot wheel car, surprisingly good shape. An odd piece of brass stamped Peerless Lock Corp Pat pend, two wheats, a 1930, and a 1940 something, they were in the same hole. 4 quarters, 4 clad dimes, 3 nickels and 3 memorials. 4 Zincolns.

Trash was about par for this course:

While making a sweep across the field I got a 17/18/19, I always dig those. After scooping up the top grass and some of the gravel, the TID improved, a 27-29.

Got my best find of the day, and had to stop for Chinese take out because dinner is on me whenever I find silver:

I really want to find a Barber, the dates here are right for it, but I'll take a nice Mercury dime any day.

I'll admit I "tarted" it up a bit with Wrights silver polish for its debut. 😀

Looked like this right out of the ground, it was in gravel:

Descent haul. Great looking area, looks much easier than stumbling over blow downs and pushing poison ivy around to find stuff here 🙂

Well, under all that 12"+ grass is gravel in some spots. It was a circular driveway. Anything surrounding the circle is all corn stalks. 😀 But yeah, the dirt is like butter and there isn't any poison ivy. I think I'll find a lot more deep stuff if I mow it.

Great finds again with a very nice dime.

Good luck and stay dry and safe.

Thanks, surprised to find it in any shape at all after being run over by combines and grasshoppers and other farm gear. It might roll if I can get all the dirt out of it. 😀 The rest I dug (about 3) were shredded.
