fogrider Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 I live on a 20 acre farm property in northern Alberta, Canada that was homesteaded in 1930. I practice my detecting technique in the yard. I've found a number of cool items including WW2 RAF buttons, some jewelry, and several coins (1929-1961). I recently purchased a 17 inch coil for my CTX, and I took it for a test spin in the yard a few days ago, despite the cold weather. I hit a 12.46 (silver quarter) target at 9 inches about 50 feet from my front door, next to an old spruce tree. Out popped a well used 1938 quarter. I'll take a Depression Era silver any day.....

gopher Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 My property used to be a farm too, but ive only found a couple pennies, the oldest 1941, I hold out hope that if there are pennies there might be dimes or quarters but no luck so far, lots of junk and iron I did find a cap gun maybe circa 1950s, so that was cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valens Legacy Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Great find as it is mostly silver for sure and worth more than a quarter today. Good luck and stay safe out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thest1956 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Wow, that's awesome! Finding stuff like RAF buttons, jewelry, and old coins in your yard must be so cool. And getting a silver quarter from 1938—what a find! Yard detecting sounds like a fun hobby, especially on a farm that's been around for so long.
