Driveway Diggin' Coins


Recommended Posts

Beautiful day to head out. Morning was in the 60s, light wind, never got out of the 70s. At first I was going to try the river, there was supposed to be a low tide. Got down there and it was disappointing. Waterman out in the river bringing in crab pots, and no real low tide. Maybe the harvest moon is keeping the water high.20210920_085719.thumb.jpg.9ce56c2c11f075e4d47e3938053f5541.jpg

Decided to go to the newer house and see if I could find more coins, boy did I. 57 coins, about $3.50 just in the driveway! Not a fan of digging in gravel, but if you hit it on a low angle it's a lot easier and you don't damage the coins or your shovel. Dates range from 1965 to 2010. This makes over 125 coins I've dug here, still not one silver. 22 Zincolns  😵20210920_190330.thumb.jpg.702fc8500046c0496ff42a810f613587.jpg

Went across the road to scout my new permission, really not much there, got the 1954 dog tag and the Disabled Veterans fob above. Also dug a rein guide, a mangled silver plate spoon, and a corner plate.20210920_161215.thumb.jpg.19804d0d86c5f10c1668b1d7de74a440.jpg

Here's the trash. Not bad for this place.20210920_160950.thumb.jpg.c4d90b1ef609ab1aa67046bdd1f07481.jpg

Good take on the clad. When you start hunting jewelry your trash level should go way up so don't worry about that 🙂

I generally dig signals that are low, especially 1-10. First gold ring I dug in a beach was a 1, got one on a hill behind me that was a 5. Still not sure how much gold is in each. Got to find time to test them.
