JCR Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 That 1907 English Penny may very well have been brought back as a souvenir by a returning WW1 soldier. Perhaps the landowner's Grandfather? Each item found has a story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She would have been born in 1936. ? Maybe a couple of generations lived there, but I'm not finding older stuff. Or, his grandfather married a MUCH younger woman... ? The story is half of the farmhouse/field part of the hobby IMO. Appreciate the suggestion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB_Amateur Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 My experience with undetected old homesites is that they run the full spectrum, from those with very few old coins to a couple with dozens, and everything in between. If I could only detect in one small area I would go for the clotheline every time. But I even got skunked under one of those (but only once). Excellent finds! Yours is one of the threads I just found -- still getting caught up with my reading. Savor that Walking Liberty Half! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The condition of the half dollar, Mercury Dime, and 1958 D quarter are quite surprising, despite the lack of high value. This was probably the best few days I have had since I started. The British penny looks good thanks to Les Crayons à André, I'm getting pretty good at using them. I only rinsed the silver coins being careful not to scratch them. This is what it looked like out of the ground, at first I couldn't tell what it was: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dug all these in one hole this morning save for a nickel near the hunt club. Second time this has happened here. ? There is a spot throwing high tones, but I've dug a foot and keep finding brick. Just this one little spot. Going to ask if I can use a bigger shovel there. One side and the back of the house will be available late winter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're going to knock the house down when they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
