Got permission from one of my down-the-block neighbors on Main Street today. Almost all of the goods came from the front yard.
I dug a total of 28 wheat pennies. The ones with readable dates range from 1917 to '52. Four of the wheats came in a single stack of coins that included 2 Indianhead cents! 1896 + 1902 IH, with 1917, 1919, 192*, and 19** wheats.
Right after digging that stack, the Barber dime showed up. Very rare to find any O mint coins around here, so that is especially special. The war nickel added one more silver, making my new FTY number 26.
Favorite dig of the day is the Richard's Tavern 10 cent trade token. Another long gone business from this town. TokenCatalog.com lists a 5 cent one that sold for $21 on ebay. They say the tavern dates from 1938 to 1952.
Most of the junk was boring stuff, but I did dig a few keys and front sight piece off of a rifle or shotgun.
Freezing temps are starting to freeze the ground in some spots. End of season is coming...
