Tonite after work did a door knock got permission and dug exactly. $1.00 in old coins! EVERYTHING old was on the curb strip between sidewalk and the street, no goodies in the yard only clad. Got 5 wheats oldest is 1910. Two silver Rosie's, 1929 standing liberty, and 1942 walking liberty half dollar. Notice the rust stains on her, she was bedding down with some nails :laughing:
I'd say that was a well spent two hour hunt!

God I love curb strips. Nice haul. Everyone forgets the curb strip, I don't know why.

Do curb strips with rounded curbs, and or curbs with a real coarse concrete. The more coarse the older. Swing laterally over curb and grass. You will pick up the coins right up against the curb better.

I have found tons of silver and old coins in curb strips. Its always first place I hit when I detect a house in town. People park and walk across it EVERYDAY!
