The Old College Farm

[navydad721]

For years a place nearby has hosted scads of college students to get away from classes. My wife would take a book and read while I detected after work in the evenings, No idea how many coins I found but it was many. About 6 years ago I had stopped detecting after suffering a heart anurysm but decided I better get back out and start living. o back to the college farm I go, it had been landscaped. But remembering it had been a farms at one time, I started to bring up older coins , A walker a silver kennedy, a few rosies and a few mercs, last week ws the best find from there, a 1918 SLQ, It was about the only target I had, the ground was sloppy and half frozen. Anyway,dig them all

Glad you are getting back out. It is a great way to spend some quality time.

Sounds like a fun place....with plenty of potential still there.  Glad you got back out to make some saves!

That sounds like an awesome place to hunt, navydad721, glad you're getting back out there. If you can post some photos because we like to see what my wife calls, "detecting porn". 🤣

Good to see you are back at it and have a pretty neat spot nearby to get back at it on. As you know, there is still more goodies to be had. Good luck! HH jim tn

It sounds like you have had some great experiences metal detecting at the college farm over the years. It's always exciting to find old coins, and it's good to hear that you were able to get back into detecting after your heart aneurysm. Keep up the good work, and happy detecting!
