Mark got us permission to search the yard of a 1940's house right after school. We only had an hour to search (but can go back later). We dug a lot of holes in that hour and found a lot of coins, but nothing old... with a couple of exceptions. Here's some of my good finds.
I found a Fossil watch. It's in nice shape, but the crystal needs to be replaced. I found a chauffeur's license badge, a 1950 Rosie, and a 1963 ten cintimes coin from France.
We've only been hunting parks, so it was different to do an old yard. Oh my gosh, I had to really learn how to listen to the sounds. There was so much trash. What I did learn is that I can dig a hole and fill it in and make it look like I wasn't there. The homeowner was impressed by how we left things.
